SCME387 Ymateb gan: | Response from: Annette Jones
_____________________________________________________________________________________

I wish to add my voice to the number of people that have responded to this consultation vehemently opposing the above proposed changes.
With the state of the Welsh Economy today during this cost of living crisis, together with the projected cost to the Welsh Economy that the the WG disastrous 20mph scheme has cost, as well as the crippling underfunding that the NHS and all essential front line services are suffering, there is absolutely no justification what so ever, to bring in any further MS's. The related costs of paying them, housing them within the Senedd by having to extend or lease further space, of providing support staff etc etc etc is money better spent on services much needed to the people of Wales.
Furthermore, the voting system does not need to be changed in order to keep the Labour party in power in Wales.
We, as a country, are billions of pounds in debt due to your incompetence and the figures, by your own admission, are only going to get worse. Many of the people you serve, live in poverty. Many people you serve are dying due to being unable to access medical aid in a timely and appropriate manner.
To squander public money on the vanity projects you have brought in recently and in attempts to manipulate the electorate into keeping power for your own benefits, because its certainly not for the benefits for the public of Wales, is insulting and obscene to the extreme. We do not need, nor want any more of you.

Yours

Annette Jones.
