AV (Alternative Vote) would only work for them while they were popular. Once they (and/or their coalition partner) became unpopular with voters the AV electoral system would punish them harshly as other parties started to make gains under AV instead.
AV is used in Australia and small falls in levels of support for Governments has resulted in big electoral losses.
