So what do the numbers look like now / And does the other tier of Parliament members effect this in as much you have Westminster elected ones Welsh Assembly and MEP 'S ? , I thought from many debates on the board about Wales ,it was felt it was top heavy,28% seems a lot ,whats the % now ?
Not sure what you mean by the % now? Wales is going to lose 28% of its MP's in the UK parliament.
Putting it in numbers, Wales has 40 MP's in the UK parliament out of 650 MP's. We will lose 11 MP's giving us 29 out of the 600 that will be sitting in the UK Parliament.
Welsh Government only deals with devolved issues - many of which have just been clawed back by the UK Government in readiness for Brexit, and of course there will be no MEP's after March.
Cheers , I wonder what equation they used to work this out, as its seems very weighted badly for Wales , is it because are geography results in more urban area s , and more towns merging with the suburbs of a central city , say like Cardiff , as a nation we are very rural.
I Would say this would guarantee being Labour forever , as the Tories will lose those posh end rural seats due to the urban votes being greater than say the Vale or Monmouth ??.
As for legislation bodies , how many levels do we want .
