On balance I'm in favour, though I'd prefer to see PR. AV is a step in the right direction, and one that isn't going to need any big changes to implement- instead of putting one cross, you rank the candidates in order of preference, should you wish to I don't buy the argument that it's to complex, and so many of the arguments against are flawed, illogical and misleading. I'd expect our prime minister to come up with a better argument than his gut feeling- though it's patently obvious who would be the biggest losers from AV.
