Talk:2007 National Assembly for Wales election

message: As we get closer to the elections we will be posed with the problem of the being more and more constituencies with more than five candidates - that is more than one "other".  This is already the case in Yyns Mon where the "other" presently listed is Jeff Evans .  However recently Peter Rogers  a former Conservative AM for North Wales announced he is to stand as an Independant- does this make him a more significant other and how should it be approached going forward as more conflicts like this occur?

message: Constituency boundaries will change for the 2007 election, not 2011? And what about electoral regions? Laurel Bush 10:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes and no constituency boundaries at the edge of regions are being changed the only constituency boundary change that will effect a region is the creation of Dwyfor Meirionnydd which will be in Mid and West Wales despite including part of the soon-to-be-defunct Caernarfon constituency (which is currently in North Wales—so even less of North Wales will be in the North Wales constituency).

message: What happened to the images that are not Rhodri Morgan? Ieuan Wyn Jones, Mike German and Nick Bourne are not featured on here with their images. Who the hell removed them and why?

message: The IWA forecast given in the article is just that -- a forecast, not a poll. AFAIK there have been no opinion polls for the Welsh Assembly election. I'll change the details; if opinion polls come out in the papers they can be added in a different section. Gareth 12:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I hven't been able to find any polls either. If I do, though, I think they should go together with this forecast because they are essentially about the same thing - predicting how the election will turn out. AndrewRT(Talk) 22:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I found some 'predictions' on the blogsite, but do not necessarily feel they should go in the artical because they were 'predicted' by intetested partiesDrachenfyre 08:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Opinion Polls' 

message: Why exactly are they even standing?
Because of the Monmouthshire question. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monmouthshire They want a referendum on whether Monmouthshire wants to be Welsh or English. And as it is now in Wales, they need to stand for the Welsh Assembly in order to do that. Swahilli 23:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Formally yes but in de facto politics a strong vote in the Assembly election would give weight to their calls. It's not different from the numerous "[sub-area] independents" groups who get elected to councils calling for them to be separated out (usually because they feel the coastal areas/island/rural/bay etc... loses out to the more populated area) even though the council doesn't have the power to partition itself.

message: For this election and previous Welsh Assembly Elections there should be an electoral map on Wikipedia showing the areas where which parties were voted in majority. This map should appear on the article showing first the constituency votes and another the regional votes. Amlder20 11:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

message: John Marek, although the founder of Forward Wales, is listed in the Statement of Persons Nominated for Wrexham as "Independent/Annibynnol" and not as a Forward Wales candidate.
See http://www.wrexham.gov.uk/assets/pdfs/electoral/naw_2007/nop_wrexham.pdf
Also John Marek's own campain website (http://www.johnmarek.org/ clearly states "John Marek: your INDEPENDENT candidate for Wrexham"
I have therefore changed the reference to Forward Wales to reflect this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ceiriog (talk • contribs) 19:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The bbc states:
:"To work out which seats are treated as gains and losses the BBC compares the results of the 2003 election with those of the current ballot. This is why Blaenau Gwent is being treated as an independent "gain", even though Trish Law first won the seat at a by-election in 2006."

Should the page be updated to reflect this?

message: I think that National Assembly for Wales 2007 boundary changes should be merged into this article.  It is actually a table of notional elections rather than anything about the boundary changes per se (which is something we could have more on).  Maybe, this article needs splitting up, but having this table in a separate article really won't make much difference.
