SCECLB75 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)?
The Bill is anti democratic. It is an
abomination. It is a disgrace that gender lists are being
considered. It is an absolute disgrace that we are expanding the
number of Welsh politicians whilst our schools and our children
scream out for money. The priorities involved in this appal me. Fun
education and health properly and park this bullshit up! Listen to
the electorate. You are riding roughshod over public opinion in
Wales and have made this former Labour supporter vow never to vote
for you again.
What are your views on the system of enforcement and potential
sanctions for non-compliance proposed in the Bill?
Disgusting.
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?
Barriers are the morality of it but I’m
not sure that would bother the power grabbers implementing it.
It’s simply not morally right to select lists on gender.
It’s nothing to do with meritocracy.
Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the
Bill?
Losing public support.
Better candidates frozen out because of their
gender.
Senedd losing talent (when there’s
already a dearth).
Loss of funding to education and other
areas.
What are your views on the Welsh Government’s assessment
of the financial and other impacts of the Bill?
Disagree. Wouldn’t trust them
anyway.
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?
Do you have any views on matters related to the quality of the
legislation, or to the constitutional or other implications of the
Bill?
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?
