SCECLB63 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 don’t believe in this bill as it
should be based on ability rather than gender.
This bill will lead to problems as once you
have equal gender numbers what comes next? Black/White?
Heterosexual/Homosexual? Christian/Muslim? The list could go on and
on.
What are your views on the system of enforcement and potential
sanctions for non-compliance proposed in the Bill?
I do not agree. In a democratic society how
can you have enforcement?
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?
Money would be better spent on NHS and
education.
Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the
Bill?
There will be many.
What are your views on the Welsh Government’s assessment
of the financial and other impacts of the Bill?
I will be very surprised if they have assessed
this correctly. Based on their track record I would guess they are
way off.
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?
Yes, I have many.
Do you have any views on matters related to the quality of the
legislation, or to the constitutional or other implications of the
Bill?
Yes. Poor quality.
Are there any other issues that you would like to raise about
the Bill and the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum or any related
matters?
.
Anything else?
The voting system in Wales is being rigged as
the Labour Party are fearful of remaining in control at the next
election.
