SCECLB14 Lynne Matthews
What are your views on the general principles of the Bill and
the need for legislation to deliver the Welsh Government’s
stated policy objective (to make the Senedd a more effective
legislature by ensuring it is broadly representative of the gender
make-up of the population)?
It should always be the best person for the
job regardless of gender, I would simply not vote at any election
if I did not know who I was voting for it is an affront to
democracy and would hopefully be challenged in the high courts.
What are your views on the system of enforcement and potential
sanctions for non-compliance proposed in the Bill?
No definitely not men cannot be allowed to
self ID as a woman, no problem with anyone standing as a trans
candidate but NOT at the expense of a woman. No closed list we need
to know who we are voting for.
Are there any potential barriers to the implementation of the
Bill’s provisions? If so, what are they, and are they
adequately taken into account in the Bill and the accompanying
Explanatory Memorandum and Regulatory Impact Assessment?
Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the
Bill?
Less people voting, female candidates pushed
aside.
What are your views on the Welsh Government’s assessment
of the financial and other impacts of the Bill?
Nonsense all of it a waste of much needed
money.
What are your views on the balance between the information
contained on the face of the Bill and what is left to subordinate
legislation? Are the powers for Welsh Ministers to make subordinate
legislation appropriate?
No
Do you have any views on matters relating to the legislative
competence of the Senedd including compatibility with the European
Convention on Human Rights?
Not competent at all Senedd seems to be led by
very small pressure groups that do not put the people of Wales
first.
Do you have any views on matters related to the quality of the
legislation, or to the constitutional or other implications of the
Bill?
Put it to a referendum and let the people of
Wales decide.
Are there any other issues that you would like to raise about
the Bill and the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum or any related
matters?
Hold a referendum on the bill.
Anything else?
