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)?

Good idea in principle , so long as biological males dressed as a crude characature of women are stopped from abusing the system

 

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

How are you are going to check the men dressed as women are really women?

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?

Are any unintended consequences likely to arise from the Bill?

Lots of terrible women candidates like [redacted – named Member of the Senedd] and [redacted – named Member of the Senedd] will get elected above better men, and [redacted – named MP] will crash into a lamppost probably if it gets elected. How are you going to police it? Force them to show their genitals to a doctor?

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

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?

Is this like when [redacted – offensive description of the former First Minister] passed all that covid lockdown tyranny using statutory instruments  ?

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

Looks like the legislation discriminates against men

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

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

Instead of gender quotas please can we have intelligence and competence tests. Don't want another [redacted – named Member of the Senedd].

Anything else?
