PHASE two of the National Assembly for Wales’s commission for electoral reform is beginning to take shape, with welcome reforms from phase one winning wide support on issues such as lowering the voting age to 16 and the piecemeal reforms to the title of the assembly to Senedd.
The Welsh labour movement now welcomes the debate surrounding the number of Assembly members Wales needs, how they are elected and how to ensure the assembly fully reflects the communities and people it serves in the 21st century.
However, within this debate we, the Welsh left, must seek to grasp this opportunity to offer an alternative view to the contemporary political system and constitution in order to combat the dramatic rise in public support for Welsh independence as demonstrated by the recent All Under One Banner Cymru march which saw thousands of supporters take to the streets of Cardiff in favour of independence.
