I'd agree that it's not an ideal solution - AV+ would certainly be a bit more proportional.But it's the only thing on the table at the moment so I'm voting yes.

Yup, if anything it will force parties to appeal to the middle ground more and explain their policies more clearly. I hope it will lead to a more grown up age of politics where common sense rules without people lurching to the left or right.
I think reform needs to go deeper though. I'd like to see a ban on party whips and every vote being a free vote, and any poltician found guilty of lying to the house, spin doctoring or patronising the electorate to be forced to wear a hat made of poos.
