What I don't get is that Alternative Vote (Labour's formulation) is bad for BOTH the Lib Dems and the Conservatives because it mainly benefits Labour, at a time when the voting system is most biased towards them already in terms of seats against vote share.

So why are the Conservatives offering it?

But I think the Conservatives have already offered everything they can - and more than the Lib Dems deserve given their seat number and the fact that Cameron could easily go for a minority government.
