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)?

Vote for the best person for the job and whoever gets the most votes. I do not like minimum thresholds for representation.

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

Disagree with this policy. This was not voted on or included in any manifesto. Put this out to the people on voting day and see what the majority would like and go with that. I for one will not vote for this.

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?

Rather not comment.

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

No comment

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

Poor.

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?

Another aspect I don’t like about this proposed legislation.

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

I’d vote to leave the ECHR and vote for a British Human rights movement instead. It’s being abused and needs reform. Definately don’t think the Welsh government are fit for purpose.

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

No comment

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?

This is another 20mph styled change that the people of wales hasn’t voted on. Put it to the people before any changes are made.
