First past the alternative postal vote
The Independent on Sunday has asked ten “leading advertising agencies” to design billboard posters for the two sides of the AV referendum campaign. They’re all terrible, but this one from King and Tuke did at least make me smile:

And not irony as such but a bit strange, under the circumstances, using someone who sat as both a Liberal & Conservative MP....
He did, but that's not it. (Nor is it the fact that WWII was a pretty good advertisment for coalitions.) Think a bit later.
The 1951 election saw the winning party gain about 200,000 fewer votes than the second-placed party.
Exactly. Under FPTP, a Mr W Churchill won while being second placed.
& he'd've won under AV.
Repeat after me:
AV is not a proportional system!
AV doesn't get rid of safe seats, it may even create more.
AV is as rubbish as FPTP for parliamentary elections and more tricky to count.
Pah...
