| Having examined the evidence, Pengam Branch Labour Party wish to make the following submissions to The Richards Commission:- | |
| 1. Assembly candidates should stand either for the constitutency seats or the list system but not both as this permits candidates who have been firmly rejected by the electorate in the constituency section to still be elected to the Assembly by default. | |
| 2. The proportional representation section should not be linked or depend on the constitutency section as this disenfranchises all the electorate who vote for the forty successful candidates in the constituencies. | |
| 3. At this state we feel that the Assembly has yet to prove it can handle its existing powers and is not yet seen as a credible government. No further powers should be given to the Assembly without a referendum. | |
| Yours | |
