The MP to electorate ratio is something like 1 to 70,000. With 96 Senedd members and a round number of two million Welsh voters we’ve got close to 1:20,000, so a maximum of 40 but remaining large enough to ensure an effective review of proposed bills.
There are 14 ministerial posts so with 40 members the governing party would likely need 20 but given the history of Senedd elections that is very unlikely. So most of the governing party in the legislature would be part of the executive and on the government payroll. 40 is too few. The Tynwald on the Isle of Man has 35 members.
It's the same nationwide. Starmer and his crew have been a disaster so far and sadly with no sign of them getting better.
Depends on what they bring to the table and on that basis £2.50 an hour is to much.

He was a proper beaut.
