Ymateb gan Unigolyn | Evidence from Individual

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)?

I would much rather see a bill asking for candidates to display competence at some level instead of discriminating based on gender. Obviously this would mean that the majority of the Senedd would not be suitable for their roles which would be great and we may have a fighting chance for the future

What are your views on the system of enforcement and potential sanctions for non-compliance proposed in the Bill?

non compliance if you cannot find a woman candidate? what if only women were submitted? i bet there would be no sanctions for fear of public outcry. Maybe ask the Chinese communist party for more ideas on comply or die

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?

I doubt that anything can be implemented effectively in the shambles of the Senedd

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

a lot of unhappy people in the population, always a bill for a matter that only the tiniest amount of people care about.

What are your views on the Welsh Government’s assessment of the financial and other impacts of the Bill?

Wouldn't trust anything the incompetent shambles of a Welsh government put out.

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?

less powers are needed for Welsh politicians since they have a track record of proving their incompetence

Do you have any views on matters relating to the legislative competence of the Senedd including compatibility with the European Convention on Human Rights?

no

Do you have any views on matters related to the quality of the legislation, or to the constitutional or other implications of the Bill?

The people who propose these bills need sectioning

Are there any other issues that you would like to raise about the Bill and the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum or any related matters?

Yes, how long have you got?

Anything else?

laughable, comply or die with 'legal' discrimination
