Interesting site. Seems some Tories do like the idea of electoral reform!

Lots of info on other methods, including AV+ & STV.

I had a thought actually, this would be a great opportunity to get shot of the House of Lords. Replace it with a PR-elected upper house of say 100 members who would have the power to reject legislation and send it back to the Commons for amendment.

This would be done alongside resolving the constituency imbalances that currently exist in the FPTP system.

Wonder if that would appeal? Would resolve two issues in one, an elected second house and that house having PR so being representative.
