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)?
In any functioning democracy political parties
should be free decide how they select candidates without any
outside interference .
What are your views on the system of enforcement and potential
sanctions for non-compliance proposed in the Bill?
Anti democratic .Sort of thing you would
expect in Eastern Europe before 1989
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?
The biggest barrier is that there is no
mandate for this or any of the other proposed changes
Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the
Bill?
Voters will become even more disengaged from
the political process .
What are your views on the Welsh Government’s assessment
of the financial and other impacts of the Bill?
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?
Do you have any views on matters relating to the legislative
competence of the Senedd including compatibility with the European
Convention on Human Rights?
Totally against the human rights of the male
of the species .
Do you have any views on matters related to the quality of the
legislation, or to the constitutional or other implications of the
Bill?
Usual poor quality not thought through
legislation . Nothing unusual there
Are there any other issues that you would like to raise about
the Bill and the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum or any related
matters?
If this is passed will there be others to
ensure more diversity such as old age pensioners , bald people and
anyone with ginger hair
Anything else?
