Government of Wales Bill

The hon. Gentleman repeats the point that he made last week about losers becoming winners. Has he noted the Arbuthnott commission’s findings? One conclusion states:"““Candidates coming in second or third place who are then elected through the regional list are only ‘losers’ in the context of a first past the post, ““winner takes all”” electoral system. This logic does not sit well within a proportional system and introducing it devalues and undermines the concept of proportionality.””" Either the hon. Gentleman accepts that we have proportional representation or he does not.
