![]() Thursday, October 1, 1998 Published at 17:32 GMT 18:32 UK ![]() ![]() UK Politics: Talking Politics ![]() The new Assembly for Wales ![]() Left to right: Vaughan Roderick, David Cornock, Glyn Mathias ![]() Wales is to have a new assembly next year.

He also argues that Wales is not a homogenous entity - that there splits between North and South, between Welsh and English speakers, and between rich and poor.
