I've not found any reason for a No vote that stands up.

Voting No to punish the LibDems is an odd idea - we could just as readily advocate voting Yes to punish the Tories.

The related idea of a no vote splitting the coalition is dubious - it's a point of contention either way, and a yes vote will make backbench Tories feel like they've conceded to far the LibDems.


I could not have put it better! Unless you actually believe in FPTP its needlessly self destrcutive to vote no and some kind of tactical vote to punish the lib dems to me seems negative. The current system is antiquated and this is one step to improve it (not the end goal)

It does not necessarily mean more coalition governments. Australia has AV and get coalitions about as often as we do.


Also we need to get away from the idea that coalition govt necessarily means bad govt. Just because the present one leaves a bad taste in your mouth does not mean that they are all rotten.
