Under the proposals to extend the Senedd, where a Senedd member has to resign they will automatically be replaced by their party rather than have a by election.
If they are Independent they will not be replaced leaving the constituency with reduced representation.
Section 91.
If a vacant seat arises (for example, due to a Member resigning or passing away) under a closed proportional list system we would anticipate that this would be filled through the next candidate on a party’s list gaining that seat. Given that this will be a proportional system, we would see little merit in a by-election being run.

How on earth can you leave a constituency unrepresented? Can anyone justify this? | |

I know this may sound ridiculous, but does the Senedd currently have to justify anything to anybody before May 2026. |  |

Looks like legislation to suit labour. I cannot see any other party getting any advantage through this undemocrtic power grab. |  |

This is what some fail to grasp. Political parties put things in their manifesto, but when implemented the devil is in the detail. The headline is the Senedd to add 36 more Parliament Members, but how many actually know or understand how they will be elected. | |

Not tsure what role the electoral commission has here, it appears that the electoral law is being changed? | |

I'm sure Drakeford the dictator will find a way to justify it.
Cementing the Senedd into a position where they can never be abolished. |  |

This has to be challenged any way we can.
Surely the resident Labour acolytes cannot defend this blatant attack on democracy? | | | |

Would this have to be passed by the Westminster Government? How far can the Senedd proceed with undemocratic legislation? | | | |

Virtually making Wales a closed shop, although it has been like that for years, but its verging on a dictatorship by going down the road that they're looking to go down.
36 new posts at a cost of 12 million which could be used for lots of things that need doing, madness. |  |

When I vote I want to know who I'm voting for, the person who will beome the MS or MP. The idea that we will vote purely for the party and then they will decide is horrendous.
Drakeford was long a supporter of Corbyn (it's why Starmer isn't keen on him) and maybe this is why we should all pay closer attention and people who never vote should actually take an interest. If they don't and we get stuck with Labour again, how do we reverse these anti democratic proposals?
maybe we need to send a petition to Westminster, contact our MP's and complain? | | | |

The worst suggestion ever.
So ….the welsh government voted for by welsh people living in wales has an escalation path for a handful of unhappy right wing Brit Nats to the English Tory government that next to nobody in Wales voted for. Rightio.
Stand a party up in Wales and if the majority agree with you then you are in business.
Westminster has broken the UK.
Would you escalate to the hard partying Johnson, or dull as a failed lettuce Truss…?
They lied to the Queen, they called judges Enemies of the People, they looted the poblic purse in a pandemic.
Corrupt English Torys have no part to play in the future of Wales. None. |  |

Would you say that to a teacher? How about a headmaster?
Maybe try making posts that make sense to anyone but you....and Trampie!
Obviously Westminster has a say in Wales future, they will decide how much money Wales gets AND they still have the final say on non devolved matters, you don't seem to know very much, besides how to make a word salad. | | | |

Gwyn might well be a teacher or head teacher - i have no idea.
Are you suggesting that we should check the occupation of posters before we reply in future ?
Not as boring as your usual posts, but a dumb idea for sure.
To be clear …. i am not calling you dumb, the idea you appear to be suggesting is a dumb ass idea. | |
