The system for electing members to the National Assembly is known as the Additional Member System. Voters are given two ballot papers. The first is used to elect each of 40 constituency Assembly Members (AMs) under the traditional first-past-the-post system. The second ballot paper is used to elect four AMs from each of five electoral regions. These Regional seats are additional members are elected so that the total representation from assigned as follows: each geographical area, including those members elected under first- past-the-post, corresponds more closely to the share of the votes cast The votes for each party for each political party in the region. are summed, and divided by the number of seats the 2016 was the first Assembly election when all three UK-wide parties: party has already gained in Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrats lost seats.

  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

  • Y Gwir Anrh/Rt Hon Carwyn Jones AC/AM Prif Weinidog Cymru/First Minister of Wales
    Y Gwir Anrh/Rt Hon Carwyn Jones AC/AM Prif Weinidog Cymru/First Minister of Wales Ann Jones AM Chair Committee for the Scrutiny of the First Minister National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay Cardiff [email protected] 29th March 2018 Dear Ann, I am writing in response to your letter of 15 March following my appearance before the Committee in Newtown on 16 February. My responses on each of your points are below. Welsh Government support for businesses participating in trade missions Developing new export business requires a certain level of investment of time and money from companies. The Welsh Government contributes to this investment with both free and subsidised advice and support. Companies should not see trade missions as the first step towards exporting. Whilst they are a good way of assessing the potential opportunities in a market, they require a significant amount of advance preparation to ensure companies can maximise the benefit from their time in market. A great deal of support is available to help companies prepare for the trade missions, much of which is free or heavily subsidised. As I mentioned in Newtown, sharing the cost demonstrates a joint commitment and partnership between the company and Welsh Government. The cost of participation is substantially subsidised and, if a company is serious about exporting, then this should not be a barrier to joining a trade mission. There are three different types of intervention to take a company to market which are: Food and Drink Trade Development visits; attendance at major trade shows; and multi-sector trade visits.

  • BREXIT at a GLANCE... What Happened This Week
    BREXIT AT A GLANCE... Weekly news, views and insights from the Welsh NHS Confederation Friday, 21 June Please cascade information where appropriate to your workforce and care providers What Happened This Week... This week has been busy, both in terms of our work to support members and of course all the developments in the Tory Leadership race. This week we attended the Cardiff University’s Wales Governance Centre Brexit and Devolution event. The event marked the two-year anniversary of the publication ‘Brexit and Devolution’ and it was an opportunity for the Institute for Government, Counsel General and Brexit Minister Jeremy Miles, and a panel of industry professionals to discuss how Brexit has and will change the context of Wales’ devolution within the larger UK context. In this event the Minster warned that a chaotic no deal Brexit threatens the future of the UK. We also attended the Welsh Government’s Health Social Services Brexit Communications meeting. During the meeting there was a discussion around how the communication cascade system that was introduced as part of the no- deal planning can be improved to better facilitate the spread of information to front line professionals and the public, especially when no-deal planning is reactivated. The Brexit Communications Plan will also be examined and updated to better reflect the current context and how things have changed since earlier in the year. We spent two days at Confed19, the annual NHS Confederation’s conference, in Manchester – which was a hit all round! There were lots of great speakers and the opportunity to meet with individuals doing great work across the Confederation and the NHS as a whole system.
