SCECLB272 Gary Mayo
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 believe it is important that voters should
be able to clearly identify who they are voting for - this new
system does not allow this.
What are your views on the system of enforcement and potential
sanctions for non-compliance proposed in the Bill?
I don’t agree that a quota should be
women - the best candidates are required regardless of sex.
I do not agree that candidates should self
identify their gender.
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?
Public disengagement with gender / sexed based
ideology
Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the
Bill?
Disenchanted electorate who want government to
govern on only important key issues
What are your views on the Welsh Government’s assessment
of the financial and other impacts of the Bill?
It’s a waste of money
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?
Goes beyond what the Welsh public requires in
the current economic climate- public services should be the
priority
Do you have any views on matters relating to the legislative
competence of the Senedd including compatibility with the European
Convention on Human Rights?
Incompetent and proven to not be proficient in
handling public finances- UK formed ECHR and should leave it to
revert to original powers of sovereignty
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’s ideology, wokeness and
manipulation
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?
Never felt so little faith in our democracy
after seeing these decisions/ proposals being made by our
government
