Is the Welsh Government right to spend £120m on 36 new Senedd Members? Is this a good use of public money?
Not only are they costly, but they will change the way that Senedd Members represent people in Wales. Under the plans the individual Senedd Members representing single constituencies will be replaced by a group of 6 regional representatives elected from party lists. People in Wales will no longer be able to vote for the person. Multiple Members will be claiming to represent the same area. I don’t think this will be good for democracy in Wales.
Let me know what you think below.
