I would be in favour of a plan like this, as long as at the end someone has to make a firm decision on what to do. To me this is one of the issues with referendums. Let say we have a choice between preferential ballot and FPTP and everyone votes 'no' to a change. That's great, but then we're right back at square one. To me that's foolish. I know that shows my bias as thinking that the current FPTP is somewhat flawed, but I readily admit that. I want to see a change to a more representative system in general, and if that means that whatever the new system is ends up with some flaws I'm OK with that.
