STV is complicated, but I can somewhat understand it. Rank candidates, they get votes based on their rank, multiple seats for a district. Not great, but not too bad.

Alternative Vote...seriously, what the HELL is it? It seems to have the same candidate ranking, but after that...what happens? What I thought was AV seems to be STV, in actual fact.

yeah, until Labour started talking about it, I had never heard anyone call AV "Proportional" (largely as its not, heck it can even be LESS proportional than fucking FPTP)
