There's a little confusion going on here, in that the title of the head of the Welsh Assembly changed from "First Secretary" to "First Minister" (see First Minister). Alun Michael was the first First Secretary. In February 2000 he resigned, and was replaced by Rhodri Morgan. In October 2000 a new coalition cabinet was established and the term "First Minister" was adopted. So Morgan is the first First Minister, but the second person to hold that post. Or something. I think. --rbrwr
You're right -- it is confusing!! -- Arwel
Better off calling the both of them "First Minister" really. The title shouldn't be too important.

I think the statement about Labour having an overall majotity in the Assembly is out of date - I seem to remember that one of their AMs has defected/been expelled or something, but can't remember the details. Perhaps somebody could add the information? Rhion 13:30, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category: Leaders of political parties in Wales
I have removed this twice and politely notified the author (Mais Oui!) of his error. I'll do so here, and hopefully he'll stop attempting to reinsert it.
Rhodri Morgan is not a leader of a political party. Fully stop. The Labour Party has provision in its constitution for just one leader, who at present it Tony Blair. There is no position of leader of the Welsh Labour Party.
Rhodri Morgan is leader of the National Assembly Labour Party, the group of (currently) 29 Assembly Members who sit in the National Assembly for Wales. And that's it.
I hope this clarifies things. Please discuss here before making further amendments to this part of the article. Thanks. Normalmouth 06:58, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] One Legged Duck
Anybody fancy adding something about his famous mistakes, such as comparing something to a wounded one legged duck on Newsnight, or something along those lines. He's won a few awards for these mistakes, they really should be noted ;)
I agree along with his DUP gaff Scifry2007 16:07, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Even though
Even though his first title is First Secretary I think that the First Secretary and First Minister titles should not be treated seperately. Even though some can argue that he is the 1st First Minister, he can also be considered as some people as the 2nd First Minister. I am going to place 2nd Next to First Minister for Wales. If there are any objections, please note them on my talk page or here.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
