Senedd Poll

“If the Senedd is to survive…”

This is the problem with that line of argument. I can accept you think that successive Welsh governments have been crap. I wouldn’t necessarily argue as a whole and I think a change would do the country good. But literally no one is questioning the very existence of the U.K. parliament, Congress on the US, the Bundestag or the French parliament because they think the governments are crap. It’s absolutely ridiculous and extremely Welsh.

Classic Dic Sion Dafydd behaviour, with a dollop of ‘I hope it works out’.

To be fair if you read what I said I’m literally saying that I’m not sure whether it’s party performance related or structural and it’s not long established so there’s no certainty about long term survival especially in these very extreme political times.

I do think the level of political apathy towards it in terms of voting numbers is not good for the long term survival. As I said in another post I think the ship has sailed but when you consider reform are on 25% they are hostile to the senedd so it’s not without possibility that say Plaid are equally as bad or God forbid worse that the more reactionary elements get more confident.

I don’t think it’s fair to go down the “Welsh” line because you fail to back a political project. That’s the sort of speak that comes from more militant nationalist musings.

I’ve said I’m a firm believer in devolution of decision making. That makes sense of course it does. That doesn’t mean that you have to have a “National” Parliament.
