Poland isn't exactly a model that the UK nor our brethren Anglosphere nations should follow given the lack of anti fascist sentiment there. Not to mention that Germany uses a Mixed Member system as does New Zealand. They don't use full blown PR as that was the system Weimar used.

It's not full blown PR though as half of the MPs in Germany are elected to individual constituencies. Also the Australian House of Representatives uses preferential voting or ranked choice voting. Not MMP.

Mixed Member system is also used in the lower or maybe upper chamber of Australia and is a form of PR.

They have bonus legislators in Germany and Nordic for equalising it when MMP isn't exactly proportional to the vote share.
Except the Nordic countries use full blown PR. Germany does not. And as I said earlier Germany does not because of Weimar.
