"The electoral system does produce a fairer
representation of the views of the people of Wales than
the simple majority system. However, there are clear
reasons why, in some circumstances, the system is not
democratic." Ogmore CLP
"It has been an advantage that the composition
of the Assembly broadly reflects all substantial shades
of political opinion in Wales. However, the means of
achieving this diversity of opinion leaves a lot to
be desired. It cannot be right to see candidates who
have been defeated in constituency elections re-emerging
as AMs via the regional list - and then with parity
of esteem in claiming to represent those very electors
who have rejected them!" Individual submission, Aberavon
CLP
"It is totally unfair for a candidate who
has been unsuccessful in gaining a constituency seat
to then be elected to the Assembly via a party list."
