Referendum on AV

That is the second of two articles that have an interesting phrase.

They say that #% voted to retain first past the post.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I thought the vote was particularly worded to ask whether we wanted AV, not whether we wanted to keep FPTP.

Undoubtedly some people voted No because they wanted more change (full PR), not because they thought everything was good the way it is.

You're correct, the result was NO to AV not YES to anything but as I understand it for the next 50-100 years anyone who brings up the subject of electoral reform will be reminded of how in 2011 the british public voted overwhelmingly to keep FPTP.
