Not only but also, the way our government functions (creating acts, appointing cabinet ministers etc) is built on FPTP principals. Voting MPs in using AV will result in coalitions that function as badly as this one does. The arm twisting only works in one direction, its not actually a numbers game in the house. It has to be or the government could not actually govern, it would end up being dissolved with alarming regularity if MPs didn't accept the way it works. For AV to actually work, or for any form of proportional representation to work for that matter, we would have to change the entire way that government works.
