The Welsh Assembly

A place to share opinions and news about the Welsch Assembly.

The National Assembly for Wales has power to make legislation in Wales. The assembly building, known as the Senedd, was opened in March 2006 by the Queen.

The Assembly was formed under the Government of Wales Act 1998, by the Labour government, following a referendum in 1997. The campaign for a 'yes' vote in the referendum was supported by the Labour Party, Plaid Cymru, the Liberal Democrats and much of Welsh civic society, such as church groups and the trade union movement. The Welsch Conservative Party was the only major political party in Wales to oppose.
