Following the 2011 election, Welsh Labour held exactly half of the seats in the Assembly, falling just short of an overall majority. This meant that only Labour can form a government. On 17 May, it was noticed that two members (Aled Roberts and John Dixon) elected for the Liberal Democrats held posts which disqualified them from being Assembly members. After investigation it emerged that Aled Roberts had received the wrong information from the Electoral Commission, and was re-admitted to the National Assembly after a vote by AMs. The Liberal Democrats withdrew a request to re-admit the other AM, John Dixon, who has been replaced by Eluned Parrott, who was second in the South Wales Central Region.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“Every thing in his composition was little; and he had all the weaknesses of a little mind, without any of the virtues, or even the vices, of a great one.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“There was not a grain of poetry in the whole composition of Lord Fawn, and poetry was what her very soul craved;Mpoetry, together with houses, champagne, jewels, and admiration.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
