AV isn't really the solution, it's just less-bad than the present one. My fear is that, if we get AV at the next election, the idea of full proportional representation will be forgotten for a generation or more. I'd rather have three more Westminster Parliaments moving to an Open List, or at least a Single Transferable Vote (already used in Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland) Parliament thereafter, than an endless succession of AV Parliaments with no real proportionality in sight.Stephennoreply@blogger.com
