And me. I want proper PR. But AV is slightly better than FPTP and I think that if there is a No vote any discussion of proper PR will be off the table for ages as it will be taken as endorsing FPTP. Some people argue that if AV wins there will be no change for years, but my feeling is that it will be less long than if there is a no vote.

In 1997 some people in Wales voted no in the devolution referendum on the grounds it didn't go far enough. However, that referendum was won and now we're getting much more sensible powers. If that referendum had been lost we wouldn't now be in the position of having law-making powers we are now in.
