Nick Clegg said before the general election that AV was a 'miserable little compromise'. Not the basis for a successful campaign.
In my opinion the major flaw in the YES campaign was to use people like Eddie Izzard, Stephen Fry and Tony Robinson to promote its position. I take the view that what a 'personality' thinks on an issue does not give any added weight to an argument. The idea that we should support something because a personality supports it is insulting. I would consider carefully the opinion of an expert. So a professor of government I would take heed of on voting systems, but not a professor of zoology.
