English: I would be very happy to do that. We have been discussing for some months the parts of the legislation that will be dealing with electoral reform, and, as the Member has acknowledged in her contribution, like her, I agree with PR, proportional voting, and I do think that that would be a help in creating much more diversity within local government and in ensuring that many more people have the opportunity to stand for election and to be elected as councillors, and I'd like to see that. If the Member has any additional suggestions for doing this through changing the law, I'm very happy to consider them, and I'm very happy to consider asking the working party to consider different options to ensure that there is more diversity within local government. I'm very willing to ensure that we have scope to discuss that over the next weeks and months. When it comes to proportional voting, the Member is aware of the statement that I made back in January about the Government's proposals in this area. We want to offer councils the power to change the system themselves. I would like to introduce a policy that would ensure that we had proportional voting here and for councils across Wales, but the Member is aware that the support for that isn't available to us. So, until there is support for that, we will continue with the current policy, but I'm very happy to join the Member to campaign for proportional voting across Wales and in every part of our democratic institutions, from councils to this place, the Senedd, and the Westminster Parliament. I do think it's important to change our politics. When it comes to the changes, can I say this? The Plaid Cymru spokesperson has focused on one side of this, namely council mergers. I'd like to look more broadly than that. What's important to me is considering the importance of the citizen and looking at how we ensure that citizens, wherever they live, whatever their geographical situation and whatever community they live in, whether urban or rural, have the kind of services that they need, and that we create the kind of democracy, democratic accountability and democratic structures to ensure that that happens. I think that we have an opportunity here to go much further than talking just about mergers, and I don't want the discussion that we're going to have over the next few months to focus just on mergers. What I want to see is how we run our systems on a regional basis, how we decide that some services can be shared between different authorities, the relationship between local government and other parts of the public sector, the relationship between local government and the health service, for example, how local government ensures that it plays a greater role in economic development - there are several questions here for us to answer, and there are several discussions that we can have over the coming months. So, I do hope that we will have a discussion that's more broadly framed than just discussing mergers, and a discussion that is richer than that. And I do think that the process over the past few months has created a foundation and a different situation, where local government leaders do acknowledge that we need change and are willing to discuss what kind of change we're going to have. And I look forward to the kind of discussion that we will have in the coming months.
Welsh: Mi fuaswn i'n hapus iawn i wneud hynny. Rydym ni wedi bod yn trafod ers rhai misoedd y rhannau o'r ddeddfwriaeth a fydd yn delio â diwygio etholaethol, ac fel y mae'r Aelod wedi cydnabod yn ei chyfraniad hi, fel hi, rydw i'n cytuno â PR, pleidleisio cyfrannol, ac rydw i'n credu y buasai hynny yn help i greu lot fwy o amrywiaeth tu fewn i lywodraeth leol ac i sicrhau bod gan lot fwy o bobl y cyfle i sefyll ac i gael eu hethol fel cynghorwyr lleol, a liciwn i weld hynny. Os oes gan yr Aelod unrhyw awgrymiadau ychwanegol i sicrhau ein bod ni'n gallu gwneud hyn trwy newid y gyfraith, rydw i'n hapus iawn i ystyried hynny, ac rydw i'n hapus iawn i ystyried gofyn i'r gweithgor ystyried opsiynau gwahanol i sicrhau bod yna fwy o amrywiaeth tu fewn i lywodraeth leol. Rydw i'n fodlon iawn sicrhau bod gyda ni'r cyfle, gofod a lle i drafod hynny yn ystod yr wythnosau nesaf a'r misoedd nesaf. Pan fo'n dod i bleidleisio cyfrannol, mae'r Aelod yn ymwybodol o'r datganiad a wnes i ym mis Ionawr am beth ydy cynigion y Llywodraeth yn y maes yma. Rydym ni eisiau cynnig i gynghorau'r grym i newid y system eu hunain. Mi liciwn i gyflwyno polisi fydd yn sicrhau bod gyda ni bleidleisio cyfrannol fan hyn ac i gynghorau ar draws Cymru, ond mae'r Aelod yn ymwybodol nad yw'r gefnogaeth ar gyfer hynny ar gael i ni. Felly, nes bod yna gefnogaeth i hynny, mi fyddwn ni yn parhau gyda'r polisi presennol, ond rydw i'n hapus iawn i ymuno â'r Aelod i ymgyrchu dros bleidleisio cyfrannol ar draws Cymru ac ym mhob rhan o'n sefydliadau democrataidd, o gynghorau i'r lle yma, ein Senedd ni, a Senedd San Steffan. Rydw i'n meddwl ei fod yn bwysig newid ein gwleidyddiaeth ni. Pan fo'n dod i'r newidiadau, a gaf i ddweud hyn? Mae'r llefarydd Plaid Cymru, Llywydd, wedi canolbwyntio ar un ochr o hyn, sef uno, ac uno cynghorau. Liciwn i edrych yn ehangach na hynny. Beth sy'n bwysig i fi yw ystyried pwysigrwydd y dinesydd ac edrych ar sut ydym ni yn sicrhau bod y dinesydd, lle bynnag maen nhw'n byw, beth bynnag yw'r ddaearyddiaeth, pa bynnag y math o gymuned lle maen nhw'n byw - canol y ddinas neu bentref gwledig - yn cael y math o wasanaethau sydd eu hangen arnyn nhw, a'n bod ni yn creu'r math o ddemocratiaeth, atebolrwydd democrataidd a strwythur democratiaeth i sicrhau bod hynny yn digwydd. Rydw i'n meddwl bod gyda ni gyfle yn fan hyn i fynd lot bellach na sôn dim ond amboutu uno. Nid ydw i eisiau'r drafodaeth yr ydym ni'n mynd i'w chael dros y misoedd nesaf ganolbwyntio ar uno yn unig. Beth rydw i eisiau ei weld yw sut ydym ni'n rhedeg systemau rhanbarthol, sut ydym ni'n penderfynu bod rhai gwasanaethau yn cael eu rhannu rhwng awdurdodau gwahanol, y berthynas rhwng llywodraeth leol a rhannau eraill o'r sector gyhoeddus, y berthynas rhwng llywodraeth leol a'r gwasanaeth iechyd, er enghraifft, sut mae llywodraeth leol yn sicrhau ei bod yn chwarae rôl mwy mewn datblygu economaidd - mae yna sawl cwestiwn yn fan hyn i ni ei ateb, ac mae sawl trafodaeth yr ydym ni'n gallu ei chael dros y misoedd nesaf. So, rydw i'n gobeithio y byddwn ni'n cael trafodaeth sy'n ehangach na thrafod uno, a thrafodaeth a fydd yn fyw cyfoethog na hynny. Ac rydw i'n credu bod y broses yn ystod y misoedd diwethaf wedi creu sylfaen ac wedi creu sefyllfa wahanol, lle mae arweinwyr llywodraeth leol yn cydnabod bod yn rhaid cael newid ac yn fodlon trafod pa fath o newid rydym ni'n mynd i'w gael. Rydw i'n edrych ymlaen at y math o drafodaeth y cawn ni dros y misoedd nesaf.
