Initially I was in favour of the NO vote..plunging to keep the first past the post system. But have been pondering the following..
Are there too many safe seats?
Are there too many seats where your vote counts for nothing at all?
Are there too many safe seats where your MP doesnt have to bother to do very much at all?
If you are a Labour voter and you live in MidShiretown where Sir Rodney-Pimpernell-Haviland always gets returned, then your AV voting system might make him less smug in his safe seat and more inclined to work for his wider constituency.
Likewise cloth capped Labourite Jimmy Jones might be very safe in Shipbuildsville ooop north.
Maybe AV would shake all that up a bit.
Or would it?
