An offer of AV

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?

Up to you. But Euro elections are a different matter, and almost nobody in the country thought hereditary peerages were a good thing. I think it'd be extremely unpopular to introduce such sweeping constitutional reform without a referendum, and if it were done by a coalition government which hadn't even succeeded in an election, well, I suspect that'd look worryingly undemocratic, and could perpetuate the feeling of frustrated rage a hell of a lot of people already feel about the last Labour government.
