Would you vote to scrap the Welsh Assembly?

I'd vote to scrap Westminster. Useless bunch of idiots. Also, they don't give one about Wales.

Sprinkler systems must be installed in every, New Build House. No such rule in England.

All Landlords in Wales to do a course, get a License and register their properties. No such rule in England.

Lowest exam results in the U.K.

Longest waiting lists in the NHS.

In my opinion the Welsh Assembly have not improved anything for the people of Wales and is just a waste of money.

If there was a vote on it, I would vote to scrap it.

This is down to the Labour government at the Assembly not the Assembly itself. If you don't like what the assembly is doing vote to change the government.
Can't think of any other country in the world that would discuss getting rid of their parliament and what little power they have and hand power back to their conquerers!!!

Exactly. Cowards and shithouses, the lot of them!

100% YES!

Voted NO to the Welsh Assembly originally and would do so again!

i stayed up to watch the referendum results as they came in 1997.
NO won mate it was rigged
was the last time i voted for that reason.

lol. the FWA have arrived in force only one missing for the full set.

Haven't plaid proped labour up with coalition for most of the assembly? Useless politicians,leanne wood is one thick bitch

No, they haven't, actually. Jesus, you are one thick c**t, aren't you?

As for Leanne Wood being 'one thick bitch', well, she deserves credit for coming from where she has (the largely non-Welsh speaking valleys of the south) to being leader of Plaid.

What the f**k have you ever done? Nothing, probably.

They come across as a bunch of idiots playing politics while wasting our money on ridiculous projects. I'd scrap it tomorrow.

What are these 'ridiculous projects'?

100% YES!

I'd hate to think that has occurred but (sadly) I can believe there are those out there who would contrive!

all results in bar 1 Carmarthenshire NO had a 16k lead
Ron Davies,Rhodri Morgan and the yes contingent got up and left the hall accepting defeat.
all polls had shown Carmarthenshire was going to be NO,yet the result was 65% YES
it just looked all so wrong.

Carmarthenshire was stonewall Yes......nice try

the truth is not a nice try

You are correct. We should never want to give up on our own Assembly.

However this current Welsh Assembly are doing such a poor job, wasting vast amounts of money and not representing the best interests of the People of Wales that I would vote tomorrow to remove them.

Brexit has also showed the true colours of our current assembly. Well over 60% of the Welsh people voted to leave the EU. Yet our Assembly put the Welsh people's vote to one side to persue their own agenda.

But you want to, given you started this thread. So you're contradicting yourself

What exactly is the Assembly wasting money on?

As for Brexit, how have they pursued (not 'persue') their own agenda? If you're on about Plaid and Labour (and Kirsty Williams) publishing their alternative plan on Monday, they're just outlining what they think is the best deal for Wales. They're not seeking to overturn the result of the referendum (unfortunately, given the referendum was won on a pack of lies and should never have happened in the first place), much as you conspiracy theorists like to think is happening.

even if you believe that the referendum was fair {i dont }

less than 26% of peope eligable to vote,voted for an assembley.
the majority was less than 7k and less than 1% and NOT EVEN A RECOUNT

What is an 'assembley'?

As for '97:

Scrap it yes.
We pay for their over paid pensions.
They pay hundreds of thousands of pounds a year to translate from English to welsh.
Carwyn jones wasted thousands of pounds to travel to Norway when the welsh govt haven't got a say.
They now want to tax welsh tax payers.
Tossers, lot of them
Lets put my snout in the trough and fcuk tax payers.

Wales has two official languages, get over it!

I would scrap it ,Jones are wood are useless

Leanne Wood is not part of the Welsh Government.

Her party back up labour on most issues as labour don't have a clear majority

Sprinkler systems must be installed in every, New Build House. No such rule in England. Improving standards and protecting lives of Welsh people.

All Landlords in Wales to do a course, get a License and register their properties. No such rule in England. Protecing people against rogue landlords

Lowest exam results in the U.K.Underfunded by Westminster.

Longest waiting lists in the NHS.Underfunded. Severe health problems due to large percentage of people being previously employed in heavy industries eg coal mining and steel making. High percentage of old people ( lots of English come here to retire). All these factors make it more difficult to achieve targets.

In my opinion the Welsh Assembly have not improved anything for the people of Wales and is just a waste of money.

If there was a vote on it, I would vote to scrap it.

I get fed up and disheartened by the fact that so many Welsh people continually talk down Wales in favour of continual rule by another country. Many countries in the past have fought for their independence from foreign rulers, but Wales, having been given a little bit of power (but not enough to make a real difference) has so many people who wish to give power back. Perhaps there is a link there with low exam results.

100% YES!

Voted NO to the Welsh Assembly originally and would do so again!

I'm not sure which polls had suggested it was going to be a no in Carmarthenshire. I'm not old enough to remember the referendum but I'd have thought it hard to believe that the polls would have suggested such a thing, especially as Carmarthen was the seat where Gwynfor Evans won Plaid Cymru's first in Parliament. It's no surprise they voted yes by such a margin. If it was Pembrokeshire, it'd have been suspicious, yes. But not Carmarthenshire.

Scrap it yes.

maybe,but when streets are named after people and then the idiots seeing the names black and brown on street names decide to put bi lingual signs up? jeez

You make a very good case to scrap it. Especially with that idiot Carwyn Jones in charge at the moment.

You're confusing the institution with the government. They're not the same.

If people aren't happy with how the government is doing, vote for someone else next time. Preferably, not Labour.

What about free prescriptions, free bus or train passes for the over 60's, public services safer than in England. Would I get rid of the biggest waste of space and money going? Yes I would,where are the ballot forms? They're trying to increase the numbers from 60 to 80 because of the workload,well I've got an idea,don't have so much fu..ing time off.

There are no plans to scrap the Assembly, thankfully.

The Assembly needs more AMs, yes. There aren't enough backbenchers to properly scrutinise the government. It's laughable to think that a national parliament in 2016 can cope with just 60 members. Utterly laughable.

100% vote yes to get rid of it.

I was never for it but the way they have ignored how the Welsh public voted so overwhelming for Brexit has really pushed it for me.

Carwyn is a disgrace do some digging on his performance absolutely shocking.

They haven't 'ignored' the Welsh public. How have they done that?

I'm not a big fan of Carwyn Jones or Welsh Labour, so I don't vote for them. If you voted for Labour, and aren't happy with the way things are going, vote for another party next time, eh? There's a thought!

There must be. It was the same with the referendum. Why the government thought it was a good thing to put it to the people is baffling. Something as big as that should not have been decided on something so simple as a binary vote.

carmarthen is not carmarthenshire just the county town.and yes it was a huge suprise to the pollsters the mps pushing it and the public.
labour wanted it and there was not a high profile against campaigner. had there been there would certainly have been a recount asked for .

Yes, but Carmarthen was the constituency until they split it into two in 1997. And Plaid have held the Carmarthen East & Dinefwr Westminster seat since 2001, and the Assembly seat since it was created. Welsh nationalism is strong there and has been traditionally.
