Actually, the CPS can already press charges without the [ex-]partners consent. They have had this power for quite a while.
Like you I am divided on the issue. I am leaning against this idea, because personal freedom from the state is something I value highly (stop laughing Graham
) Seriously, I do, when the state forces people do things against their wishes, it doesn't feel me with a lot of confidence. I makes it look like we are hurtling toward a totalitarian police state.

My mother also called the police once claiming my dad had assaulted her, which was clearly not true. Still, gave me something to talk about at school:
"What you have for breakfast Andy?"
"Coppers"
