Good morning

I would like to take this opportunity to express my overwhelming view view that increasing the number of Assembly members in the Senedd is totally wrong and unjustified.

As Wales is a country with a population of just over 3 million people we are burdened with over governance.

We have far to many councils as it is and to add 36 more AM’s is not needed and an extra expense to tax payers.

Changing the way we elect our representatives in the Senedd is also wrong and undemocratic.
Changes of this magnitude should be put to a referendum for the people the Senedd is supposed to represent to decide.

I am totally against the way the current Welsh government is trying to force this bill through.

Regards
Wayne Staniland
