This page needs updating

--Draig_Goch20--

I thought these were the current cabinet members? What needs updating?

Jane Hutt is not the Health Minister anymore, she was fired last month.

Wales and Welsh politics needs it's own politics table[edit]

Like Scotland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and other parts of the U.K. Wales should have it's own politics table labelled "The Politics and Government of Wales".

I agree. —Nightst a llion (?) 22:31, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ministers Table[edit]

Why has yellow been used for the Plaid ministers? Plaid uses Green. Libdems are Yellow. I'll edit at some point if no objections. Tom::Leave a message 18:10, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plaid re branded in 2006 --Barryob (Contribs) (Talk) 18:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True, but green is used to represent Plaid, due to confusion with Liberal Democrats.

See http://www.assemblywales.org/memhome/mem-party-group-seating/member-seating-flash.htm and the Party Groups link on the LHS of that page

Reasons for establishing new offices[edit]

From the WAG location strategy webpages... Establishing new offices will not only improve accessibility and communications, but will also:

stimulate economic growth in the local areas
provide new career opportunities across Wales
improve working environments for Assembly Government staff
demonstrate the Assembly Government’s commitment to sustainable development, and use local supplies, labour and materials wherever possible

Renaming[edit]

WAG has been renamed WG if anyone would like the tedious renaming duties![2] 128.240.229.67 (talk) 11:56, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have renamed some key parts of the article but the name of the article needs changing. We need an admin.Aetheling1125 12:39, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Done ... I always thought admins were over-rated :) Daicaregos (talk) 12:47, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I also changed it to Welsh Government in the infobox though I don't know if there is a new seal that reflects the change of name? Carson101 (talk) 13:24, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect it caught the civil servants at the ~~WAG~~ WG on the hop too. Nothing has been changed on their website yet, except the announced change here (see small print, top left under "New Team Delivers for Wales"). Best to wait and see, then follow their lead.

Suggestions for updating[edit]

Just a suggestion but perhaps this article could be reorganised and rephrased. Parts of it are written in a future tense, e.g. "the First Minister will be appointed by...". Peraps it is now time just to explain how things are done.

I also think that there should be a heading for "history" (explaining 1988 and 2006 restructures) so that it is clear to the reader what the situation is now and what it was in the past. I am finding that many of the articles about Welsh politics go through the history and then, at the bottom, tell you what is happening now. Perhaps it would be clearer to explain the current situation and then in a separate section explain the history? I am conscious that ot would be difficult to understand for someone who has no knowledge of Welsh politics at all. Tralban (talk) 13:09, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
