On Tuesday, it was announced that the size of Wales' Parliament was set to grow with the creation of an extra 36 new Members of the Senedd (MSs). Welsh Labour leader, Mark Drakeford, and Plaid Cymru leader, Adam Price, jointly published plans to increase the size of Senedd to 96 members, with gender quotas also included in their plan.
Any change like this requires the support of two-third of the current 60 members of the Senedd. Between the Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru parties, they have 43 seats out of the total 60, meaning that their proposals are likely to be approved. In a joint statement on Tuesday, they said changes would likely come into force by the next Senedd election in 2026. You can read more about the changes here.
