Welsh Parliament Expands To 96 Members
The Welsh Parliament has expanded its membership from 60 to 96 seats. A new electoral system and new constituencies are being implemented for the first time. Other political parties have ruled out forming a coalition with the Conservatives. The outcome of the upcoming election remains difficult to predict due to these structural changes. The change makes predicting parliamentary majorities difficult for pollsters. Current political trends suggest a potential Labour-led government, though no other parties have ruled out coalitions with Conservatives. The new system is being applied for the first time in Wales. A Cymru-led government remains a possibility depending on polling day results.
