Bil Senedd Cymru (Rhestrau Ymgeiswyr Etholiadol)| Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill

Ymateb gan Sandra Currie | Evidence from Sandra Currie

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)?

If you are referring to sex, it makes some sense to have equal representation of males and females.   However, the system was created for, and best serves men, so just having women elected to balance the numbers without understanding that women who accept the male paradigm do not represent women's interests.    If you are allowing men who have colonized womanhood to count as women, not only are you insulting every women alive, you have unquestioningly accepted a regressive, elitist, authoritarian, and anti-democratic ideology.  

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

I don't have to state that I am a woman, because I am.   Allowing men to count as women because they say they are is too ignorant a position unworthy of a response.

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?

Hopefully, there will be enough opposition to this regressive Bill that your political careers will be threatened.

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

Women's sex based rights.   We fought hard for them.   They are not yours to give away.

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

Money is squandered in order to accede to the demands of a vocal and non-representative minority.    Fear of being called a name is not a good reason to enact legislation.

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?

I can't answer that.

Do you have any views on matters relating to the legislative competence of the Senedd including compatibility with the European Convention on Human Rights?

Trans rights are not human rights.   They are misogynist male demands.   Human rights organizations have been captured, and are no longer relevant.

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

It needs to be chucked out of existence.

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?

Follow the money.
