_____________________________________________________________________________________

I would like to register my opposition to the size increase of the Senedd and its members. As a serviceman I was never given the right to vote in the first vote and want my views to be considered this time.

The present Welsh Labour regime, has not been challenged due to a self serving electoral system that will not be addressed by the present incumbents or their Labour successors. The failure to listen to the needs of the Welsh people as a whole, wasting money prevaricating over decisions that are clearly incorrect, buying ego properties without a valid business case etc, demonstrate a crass disregard for democracy and the true needs of the majority of Welsh people. An increase in non cost effective MPs not only wastes public money but it further underpins the eroding of democracy in Wales.

Furthermore , this Welsh Labour Party should engage with the electorate through referendum and policy based mandates, rather than the developing dictatorship forced upon us, the people.

Regards David
