Yes or no

[altariel]

OK, f'listers, let rip. In 100 words or less, and without reference to the other case, tell me why I should vote either 'yes' or 'no' to the following question:

"Do you want the United Kingdom to adopt the 'alternative vote' system instead of the current 'first past the post' system for electing Members of Parliament to the House of Commons?"

Non-UK perspectives welcome.

Suggest vote yes. It's shades of grey, innit (mostly very dark shades, admittedly). Putting just one X feels horribly like suggesting there might be A Right Answer.

It's difficult to be enthusiastic for it.
