Instead, you'd be hard pressed to see anyone other than Carwyn Jones and Carl Sargeant on the 'front benches' at times, with plenty of free spaces on the back benches of Labour other than the sycophantic AMs that raise their so called questions to Rhodri.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274304154981222075.post-39416869669141276522008-02-23T13:05:00.000+00:002008-02-23T13:05:00.000+00:00The proportion of AMs who regularly attend all the...The proportion of AMs who regularly attend all the senedd meetings is much higher than westminster.
