This has been a really interesting thread and there's valid points on boths sides. However, my vote was going to be 'yes' before reading this and remains 'yes' after. Much as giving Clegg the Betrayer (and the Cuntilition) a bloody nose does appeal, ultimately that's too short term a goal for me when considering the potential for changing a system not just for the 'now' but for generations to come. As reforms go, it probably doesn't go far enough, but I think it's going the right way.
I don't want to be a position of always having to vote tactically, or at least for that to be the primary consideration - I want to vote for the person/party I want and feel its counted towards a result I'd actually, ideally like.
