It's better than fptp and may put a stop to the idea of ever having a full on tory government again, that's good enough for me for the time being. Its just one evolutionary step, and who knows how many more there may be.


But, but.. but it isn't better is it ? Think about how it will play out, statistically. Its a horrible fudge. If tactical voting bothers you now how much of a mindfuck will it be choosing your second and third preferences in a marginal seat. Coalition governments will be more likely, and more likely to be as full on tory as this one is. In order for it to work our whole method of government has to change to reflect A/V. It's not an evolutionary step, in order for a step to be evolutionary it has to have a further rational, determinable goal. A/V doesn't have one.


The way I see it, parties who are most likely to have the 2nd and 3rd preferences counted first will typically be those Little Englander/Fascist/Libertarian nut-jobs who are Tories at heart.
