_____________________________________________________________________________________

Please accept this message as an objection to the Senedd Reform Bill.

- The Bill is intended to meet the needs of the Senedd and not the needs of the citizens of Wales.

- The Bill will deny the citizen the right to vote for an individual of choice

- The Bill will increase the tax burden of the citizens of Wales

- The Bill will increase the element to power and control the Welsh Government has over the citizens of  Wales, and decrease citizens involvement with politics

- The Bill is designed to be oppressive, exclusive and dictatorial.   The direct opposite to what Democracy means.

Let me explain:

To vote for a party and not an individual, is to vote for the manifesto, the party plan.  

Here in Wales, we have experienced that the first minister for Wales repeatedly has said, that ‘we’ the electorate, are in agreement, with all that the Welsh Government is doing, a) because ‘we’ have voted Labour, & b) because all that they are doing is in the manifesto.

However, today 460000+ Welsh people have now said, they do not like what the Welsh Government is doing. We the electorate have told the Welsh Government this via a petition. Yet the ruling party refuse tot listen to the voice of the people and ignore the voice of the people. All because there is a two line entry  in the manifesto. 

We believe we live in a democracy, we believe that we have rights, we also believe that we can change things. We form groups and connect with other like minded people. 

We then meet Welsh Labour, who want to control us, dictate to us, take away years of democratic rule.

Only those who have power, can impose control.  The more power they have, the more control is imposed.  Thus the need to control, to deny, to oppress, to subjugate, to dictate, because if you don’t control, you allow individual thought. And once that is allowed control is lost.

Hence the need for Welsh Labour to control.

Welsh Labour NEED to control the citizens, to maintain their power, they must maintain control.

The Senedd Reform Bill is the mechanism, the machine, that is designed to maintain control.
