I disagree. By allowing people to vote for multiple candidates (if
they so wish) it would eliminate tactical voting. It would also mean,
that if you don't vote for the winner, that your vote is not totally
wasted. Hopefully this will encourage more people to to vote make MPs
more accountable.

a. What's wrong with tactical voting.
b. Why would a vote under AV be any less 'tactical'

It won't make any real difference. The same sort of people will still stand
for election, whoever you vote for the government will get in. Some
constituencies may be a little less 'safe', some marginal constituencies
will become 'safer'
