The full submission can be read on www.richardcommission.gov.uk/content/evidence/responses/coxj/index-e.pdf and the text of the discussion that ensued on http://www.richardcommission.gov.uk/content/template.asp?ID=/content/evidence/oral/pow/index-e.aspAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985080357558043054.post-36965886354818311212009-11-05T11:00:39.714+00:002009-11-05T11:00:39.714+00:00May be Merthyr and Cynon Valley

And the danger(or benefit) of larger constituencies is that it improves the lihliehood of smaller parties getting elected. <br /><br /><br /><br />and for Monmouthshire -Pendduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10244123496175993094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985080357558043054.post-294363148168346502009-11-05T05:49:32.147+00:002009-11-05T05:49:32.147+00:00This is great work and very interesting indeed.

It shows quite clearly how STV could be implemented in Wales and would not impact enormously the pattern of competition amongst the parties i.e. in some areas Labour would benefit clearly. Sounds like the topic for a research seminar?Penderynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08856650274196529023noreply@blogger.com
