So A-levels were a long time ago but as far as I recall the idea is more people vote for the party they actually like regardless of whether they would win, so you get higher voting percentages for parties that usually get their votes taken by tactical votes.
I've just googled what STV is and realised it's the system used in the Scottish Parliament.
I'm not massively convinced of the need to change. I quite like the list system although obviously the way some Members have switched parties is irritating. I guess under STV you could force by-elections to put an end to that chicanery.
