A quick post - I've just come across a BBC news page which discusses what the political landscape might be like had the UK said "Yes" to AV in 2011.
Although in the 2010 election the Conservatives and Labour would have lost out and the Lib Dems would have gained 32. According to Lord Ashcroft it's possible that the 2015 polling data would show a Conservative victory.
Great stuff!

AV arguments and the election
The video embedded below has illustrated in a very entertaining way the two different methods of voting that were at stake in the Referendum held yesterday.
This page on the BBC website has lots of detail about the local elections which were held at the same time. Big news for the Scots; the SNP are likely to become an majority administration. Bad times for the Lib Dems; major losses accross the country. There are likely to be troubled times ahead for the coalition as the natural party of opposition (i.e. the Lib Dems) is punished for doing things its supporters didn't like.
