Orders in Council and Measures

My freinds I have just read the act on the OPSI website. I would like to disagree that Orders in Council will be made as Measures. Measures are passed by the Welsh Assembly only as Orders in Council will have to be passed by the Welsh Assembly, Secretary of state for Wales and both houses of Parliament. The measure is not used to transfer powers as it is seperate from Orders in Council. Only the Orders in Council is approved by Parliament because this will be used to transfer powers to the Welsh Assembly, and then the Assembly can then pass a law of their own called a "Measure" (similar really to how the church can pass laws of their own). Though I do ask for this act to be looked over again before a re-edit of this article as I believe there are some errors here. I am sure that both houses of Parliament can intervene if the measures interferes with English law or the right to have Water in England?Amlder20

Welsh Assembly not an example of a "Westminster System" Legislature

I removed the reference to the Welsh Assembly being a Westminster System Legislature.

Defining characteristics of Westminster System legislatures, (compared with other legislatures) roughly put-

Facing seats in the actual chamber- for adversarial debate More emphasis on the Plenary Chamber than Committees Committees are for Scrutiny and holding executive to account rather than actual policy making. Tend to be elected on first past the post system, or at least a system where individual candidates are voted for rather than party lists- e.g. STV in Australia or Ireland.

If you look at the Welsh Assembly Hemicyclical chamber- for consensual debate. More emphasis on Committees than Plenary Chamber Elected on an overal proportional system- 1/3 of members are voted in on party lists.

Really the Welsh Assembly is more like the Bundestag than the House of Commons. Comentate 0:00 20 May 2007 (GMT)

Confusing sentence

"forbids candidates both contesting constituencies and being on the a regional list"

Is this supposed to say "...on the regional list" or "...on a regional list" mdkarazim 15:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
