	National Assembly for Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Assembly for Wales (or NAW) (Welsh: Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru) is a devolved assembly (not a full legislature) with power to make regulations in Wales, and also is responsible for most UK government departments in Wales.
		The second election produced the first ever democratically elected legislature in the world in which 50% of the members were women.
		In July 2002 the Welsh Assembly Government established an independent commission, with Lord Richard (former leader of the House of Lords) as chair, into the powers and electoral arrangements of the National Assembly in order to ensure that it is able to operate in the best interests of the people of Wales.

		The National Assembly for Wales (or NAW) (Welsh:Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru) was established in 1998, following a 1997 referendum in which a small majority ofvoters (but not the electorate) voted in favour of the Labour Government's plans for devolution.

		It is relatively easy to stand for election as an independent candidate, although wins are very rare and usually involve special circumstances (for example Martin Bell's 1997 victory against the discredited Conservative MP Neil Hamilton was aided by the major parties standing aside and not contesting the election).
		United Kingdom general elections are the elections held when the Members of Parliament (MPs) forming the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom are elected.
		For elections to the Welsh Assembly the Additional Member System is used, which is a hybrid of single member plurality and proportional representation.

		Looking at total votes cast in all Welsh elections since 1997 - the last British state general election to be held before the establishment of the Assembly - it can be seen that this was Labour's worst performance in this period, excepting the European elections of 1999.
		In this choice fear of not differentiating itself sufficiently from Welsh Labour must not act as a deterrent to Plaid moving to consolidate itself in urban Wales.

	Center for Voting and Democracy
		The Assembly's proportional representation system and the dynamic introduced into voting patterns by a new, devolved tier of government for the Welsh nation, ensure an outcome, however, which is far from foregone.
		The 50% turnout for the 1997 referendum and 46% turnout for the historic first Assembly elections in 1999 could be seen as very authoritative against what some commentators forecast may be a turnout of 35% this year.
		After four years running the Assembly, we should have a solid record of achievement and a clear and dynamic vision of the future to be sufficient to mobilise our natural and strong base of support to give us a comfortable victory.

		In the Welsh Assembly Elections the Tories polled strongly enough to beat Labour, who at the time were having more than a few local 'difficulties'.
		This is one of the most marginal Labour seats in Wales, and has to be one of the most likely Tory gains at the next election, especially after the Tory win in the Welsh Assembly elections.
		However it is important to remember that it was turnout that cost Labour seats in the Assembly and turnout is likely to be a lot higher in a General Election (80% even in 1997).

		In "Sovereignty After the Election," Tom Nairn seems to argue that nationalism in Scotland isn't about nationalism (in the ethnic sense) at all; rather, it's about bringing greater democracy to Britain and, especially, to Scotland.
		What does "community" mean in the Welsh case and how does the development of the Welsh nationalist movement support the view that the main goal has been a restoration of a distinctively Welsh community?
		Despite the longstanding decline of the Welsh language, there are indications (e.g., the use of Welsh in the new Assembly, the ever-growing number of Welsh-medium nursery and primary schools, etc.) that Welsh is being revived.
