Ymateb gan James Jones | Evidence from James Jones

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 think this proposal is bordering on communism, how on earth can you not vote for a person you think will represent the interests of your community. You only have to look at the recent Russian elections.

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

The whole thing is a waste of tax payers money, stop messing about and focus on saving the Welsh NHS

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?

Not listening to the public, wasting money when it should be used to prop up the NHS and education .

Showing how arrogant the WG is to its leadership and not listening g

See above, complete waste of time and money

They already have far to many powers that they don’t know what to do with

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

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