Extremists are unlikely to win seats as it requires 50% of the voters to make a positive vote for them. This actually seems quite unlikely for the BNP to gain a single seat in the UK parliament, and certainly not to have enough seats to justify them becoming part of a coalition government.
Finally I would suggest that the 'shameless governance' that exists as a result of the coalition government would only be worse if a single party was in government. It was not a coalition government that introduced the poll tax or invaded Iraq or even introduced tuition fees in the first place.

if so which version of AV are we going to get?
The version of AV that will be introduced is set out in the legislation that has been through parliament. There is not an option to vote for AV+, STV, or any other method - it is a straight choice between FPTP and AV.
