A number of smaller parties
Actually I think you'll find that Labour has no policy position on AV - certainly there's no justification for listing them as a Party 'supporting' it.

Once you compile a list of parties which actually do support AV as a policy, you find you have a list of fringe parties for whom changing the electoral system is simply a matter of self interest. No surprise there.

They're also against AV, so on that basis will you be voting no to AV today?
