They did open discussions with them first, 3/4 days worth in fact!
Anyway with this offer of AV I think they need to decide tonight to back the Conservatives and get this party started
I think my favorite result would be an elected 2nd chamber. My main concern at the moment is the lack of balance when a party has a majority. Open season for them to pass crazy laws with the House of Lords being somewhat limited in their ability to vote things down (I know they have recently but as an unelected body it makes it difficult).
This could be done via PR. I would like to do the senate thing in America, so 1/3rd of the house up for election every 2 years, helps protect against both houses coming up for election at the same time and therefore prone to political opportunism and would prevent election cycle giving a party complete control.
