LabelNew way of voting: party candidate? Q146
Question text In the election people used a new way of voting to elect the Welsh National Assembly. There were two ballot papers. The first, which was purple, was for an individual Member for the Welsh National Assembly - or MWA - for your constituency. The second, which was peach, was for a party list for your region. If you had voted, which party's candidate would you have voted for on the 'first' vote for an individual MWA for your constituency?
