SCECLB230 Daffyd 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)?
The bill is undemocratic, and founded on
bigotry. Merit should be the only metric to influence who is
selected.
What are your views on the system of enforcement and potential
sanctions for non-compliance proposed in the Bill?
The potential sanctions disgust me.
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?
Select candidates on merit alone.
Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the
Bill?
The inevitable unintended consequences will be
a decline in services. Meritocracy is the only way to run a
system.
What are your views on the Welsh Government’s assessment
of the financial and other impacts of the Bill?
The Welsh government is fast becoming a
national joke.
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?
The Welsh Ministers have too many powers.
Their empowerment is causing irreperable damage to the nation of
Wales.
Do you have any views on matters relating to the legislative
competence of the Senedd including compatibility with the European
Convention on Human Rights?
The ECHR needs to be abandoned, ASAP.
Do you have any views on matters related to the quality of the
legislation, or to the constitutional or other implications of the
Bill?
I am at the point that I no longer have a gram
of faith in the Assembly's ability to not screw everything up that
they touch.
Are there any other issues that you would like to raise about
the Bill and the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum or any related
matters?
no
Anything else?
no
