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 totally disagree with this, it should be based on capability, not colour , race , creed or gender, if the makeup were 90% women and 10% men I would be happy but only if selection was based on measured capability.

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

There should not be any enforcement, this is totally wrong we need capable people, regardless of gender, measure capability please!

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?

Yes you are ignoring capability and those who are not gender specific

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

Completely wasting taxpayers money again! better capable candidates losing out to poorer ones, and the result in our communities of less capable candidates

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

More wasted money by welsh labour on something that is not needed, we need quality candidates who actually listen to the people

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, Senedd is totally incompetent and out of touch with the people of wales

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

Its another example of Welsh Government doing what they want regardless of the people of wales wishes - see 20mph debacle and the largest ignored petition in welsh hgistory

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?

Please start listening to your electorate, fixing the things that matter not just what you think will make a great soundbite and fuel your propaganda machine.
