Don't you think the trouble is, you can only say yes or no, it's put too simply. If you say yes, it sounds like you want AV as it is, but I don't think that system goes far enough. If people vote yes, then the powers that be will let us have AV as a sop but not push it any further, and nothing will probably really change. But if you say no, you look like you're agreeing that first past the post is best. Thus you align yourself with the big parties who know it suits them fine, even if that's not what you intend at all.
So you're kind of damned if you do and damned if you don't. But I think at least if you vote yes you're indicating you want something to change? So I think I'll vote yes, what the hell.

We've got to have a system where idiots like me aren't tempted into voting tactically like they did at the last election (curses, never again).
