I thought it was a referendum on AV they were offering, which is pretty much a nothing offer anyway? Or is this new info?

AV is not PR, it is infact sometimes less proportional than FPTP. It is maybe an improvement. Would probably benefit Lib Dems and Tories most, as UKIP will finish last in many seats and they will pick Tories as 2nd place most likely. I'd also suggest that the greens and other parties may finish last in a lot of constituencies and they would have 2nd choice as Lib Dems perhaps, but meh, that's just my thinking. Under AV the Lib Dems would have been the second biggest party in 1997 and the Tories literally wiped out and under 100 seats so it really isn't that great.

....... and the Tories literally wiped out and under 100 seats....

That's the system for me

According to elec reform soc figures are on the lines of:

 

Actual FPTP 307, 258,57,26

predicted AV 281,262,79,28

predicted STV 246,207,162,35

 

So though not as good for the libdems as STV AV would have given them even more influence than with FPTP.

Do you need a source to know that they are all selling their souls?
