I'm voting Yes because I believe AV is better than FPTP.
I prefer the idea of full PR but I don't like the idea of list systems which also reduce proper local representation. At least with AV it is a form of PR and it still maintains local representation.
Stay at home and moan on the internet then :@

I can't be bothered to explain it all fully but the smaller parties would still need an overall 50% of the vote, either by 1st choice of choices after that, the big 3 will (nearly) always get far more 1st choice votes and if they don't they will easily make up the difference to 50% from 2nd/3rd/4th choice. With AV there is more chance of people voting for a smaller party as 1st choice because they know their backup can be a big party.
I've probably explained this very poorly, but thankfully someone else will step in and explain it better.
What ant said basically, but it depends on people using their vote fullly.
It removes the idea that voting for (x) is a wasted vote, and in theory you could see some crazy changes.in.voting behaviour. But people are boring and will pobably still vote the same as before.
Depends where you live.
I live in a safe Labour seat. At the last election it was a new Labour candidate and she increased Labour's majority by a thousand, to 7,000-odd.
This is why I didn't vote. What is the fucking point.
