An offer of AV

[ajva]

I think the LibDems should go for it. It's not PR, but it's a slight improvement, and a hell of a concession from the Tories. And what's more, if the LibDems turn it down, they'll be seen as putting their party interest first and possibly be punished for that later on.

What do you think?

This. I would not be happy with AV only as it's not enough of a change. If we're going to go for political reform aren't we better off doing it properly rather than half arsedly which would then mean "Oh we can't change again we did it last year/decade/century".

Yes, we'd be better off doing it properly. But that isn't going to be on the table, I don't think. What is on the table is something that would make the electorate wake up to the fact that voting change is possible.

One would have to explain how an election works or can work to everyone - annoyingly we never got taught at school as that'd be politics innit...
