            To whom it may concern…

As a welsh citizen and voter , I would like to register my concerns and opposition to the expansion of the senedd membership from 60 to 96 .
No ,thank you ! there are quite enough of you and it is a tax burden that Wales cannot afford at this point in time .

More importantly, I am very concerned about the “ CLOSED LIST “ proposal.
I am not affiliated to any political party , just a voting pleb , I very worried indeed about the erosion of democracy and the lack of transparency in welsh politics.

I need to to know who the individual politician representing me is ! I will not be voting for any political party without any knowledge of the individual candidate is .
( I can’t believe in 2024 , that I’m having to say this out loud ,via email to the senedd ) .

My elected mp for Carmarthen East & Dinefwr is Jonathon Edwards ( currently self appointed “independent “ ) still standing as an mp despite getting a police caution for assaulting his wife .
In effect we have no credible advocacy representing us , when we most need it .
Absolutely Disgraceful.

Your attempt at turning us into a one party , Stalinist state .. is totalling unacceptable to this pleb .

I would appreciate an acknowledgement of this email.

Thank you .
Kind regards.
