 National Assembly for Wales: Subject Index: The Richard Commission   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Sharing constituencies in common with those for Parliament has the advantage of allowing electors to identify with a single unit as their unique political territory.
The outcome of the constituency election however, can be grossly disproportional and any reform that extended the scope of simple plurality voting would further compound this problem.
Any list candidate not fighting a constituency is put in the invidious position whereby their own prospect of election increases in direct proportion to their colleagues fighting seats likelihood of failure.

When, in 1998, the legislation setting up our weak Welsh Assembly was going through the English Parliament, the Lords and the Commons joined forces to deny Wales power over various areas, the basic sentiment seeming to be there was much you couldn't trust Welsh with.
To put it crudely, the UK, for example, would be quite prepared to see factories close in some other part of the world and their workers made jobless if those factories would then move to some part of the UK and provide jobs here.
