Does the Bracknell Primary Show the Conservatives as Inconsistent on Electoral reform?

There is an interesting take on the Bracknell Primary posted on Left Foot Forward by Mark Thompson on the link below.

It’s about how the electoral system at the primary, strongly resembled the Alternative Vote type of proportional representation. I guess the local party believed that this was a fair system when there are a limited number of voters even though the conservatives support first past the post for general elections.
