Part of me wonders whether it's a good thing that it's framed as a Yes/No question - it makes it all about AV, rather than AV versus FPTP. The No2AV campaign have exploited this by focusing on criticisms of AV, even though many of them apply to FPTP. Anecdotally, I see people saying things like "I want PR instead of AV, so I'm voting No" - even though that ought to mean they're voting Yes to FPTP in this referendum.
