Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 1:59 pm on 15 February 2017.
Llywydd, voting systems are matters that have a variety of views within political parties, as well as between political parties. The proposal in the White Paper is to allow local authorities to make the decision that is right for them in their own context. I’m sure there will be a lively debate here in the Assembly about different views that individuals and parties will have about the best way of securing a voting system nationally in Wales that allows people to feel connected to the work of the National Assembly, and to feel that the way that they cast their vote has an influence on the way that decisions are made here.
