Which statement about the Welsh Assembly is true?

• A. The Welsh Assembly has 129 Assembly members.
• B. It has 60 Assembly members.
• C. It has 40 Assembly members.
• D. It has 90 Assembly members.

Answer: (B)

Think of the Welsh Assembly as a legislature that uses a mixed-member system to balance local and proportional representation. There are 60 seats in total: 40 are from constituencies, giving direct representation for parts of Wales, and 20 are regional seats chosen from party lists to reflect overall vote shares more fairly. The body was renamed to Senedd Cymru (the Senedd) in 2020, but the number of members stayed at 60. So the statement that it has 60 Assembly members is the true one.
