Richard:
Of course we want this reform.
An electoral system like Italy's is exactly what we need.

It's going to be interesting ,however; Australia has used AV for more than 90 years. It has resulted in just one hung parliament in 38 elections. First past the post in Britain produced hung parliaments last year, in February 1974, in 1923 and 1929 and twice in 1910. It has also produced parliaments which became as good as hung after the elections of 1950, October 1974 and 1992.
Maybe we really need STV :-))

It would definitely be to the benefit of an Independent Candidate !!
