AV is Good Enough...

Unitarian Sir Peter Soulsby has become Leicester's first elected mayor. He was the MP and is Conservative. He beat the other 10 candidates after winning more than 50% of the votes, which means, ahem, he won using AV.

Sorry to contradict but he had been a Labour MP, despite the experience of the last few years I doubt if even he changed party that quickly. Of course it does not prevent him being an ideological conservative as many members of the Labour Party really are.
