AV [...] in my view [...] certainly reflects a fairer representation of the electorate's wishes. That can only be a good thing, even if it leads to more hung parliaments and coalitions.


In fact, according to an analysis by John Curtice of Strathclyde University, as reported in today's Independent, the only hung parliament which would have emerged from the last seven general elections if they had been conducted under AV would have been the present one. That's no predictor of what might happen in future, of course.
