This is just plainly wrong, and makes the whole Welsh Assembly a total joke.

It needs to be disbanded or revert to what British politics is renowned for ie democracy ie first past the post not this PR misrepresentation.
FPTP works well for 2 party politics. Fortunately we've grown up and it's a thing of the past. If we took the 40 FPTP seats and allocated proportionally we'd have had: Labour 14, Cons 8.5 PC 8.5, UKIP 5, LD 3, Greens 1. much more representative parliament rather than a party getting half the seats with 33% of the vote
