Because it's embarrassing Wales is a democratically elected country with less than 40% of population consistently turning up to the polls.
Edit: For what it's worth, they could make it like the Australian system which I understand has an option to vote for nobody on the ballot paper, but you have to go. It makes people interested and gets them involved in political conversation if they have to or get fined.
A whim, even you agreed the money could have been better used elsewhere everyone agreed that.
It could cost them in Westminster, the Red Blue Red walls are turning blue again, wouldn't it be crazy if the only thing stopping Labour was Drippys disaster alerting them of the desire to ban the car early
I would have bet anything on Newer Labour (same policies as Conservatives except earlier unpopular green measures) getting elected with a landslide, but now Drippy and Khans policies are frightening voters off, it could get a lot closer.
What has the current government in Wales done to promote tourism in the last two years , considering it’s around 12% employment and 5% GDP ?
You would like to go back to the days when Wales was ruled by a Secretary of State (who acted like a governor of a Roman Provence). More often than not it was an English Tory who used it to promote himself at the expense of Wales.
Who can forget John Redwood pretend to sing the Welsh national anthem, looking like Mr Bean.

You have frequently gone on about democracy, but was is more democratic, politicians elected by the citizens of Wales or a political ruler imposed by a Westminster government elected mostly by English voters?
He was the civil rights lawyer who sued the government to demand that all illegal immigrants should get full benefits, which is now costing the government billions.
I hope he is proud of himself.
The same man who has a special government approved pension which means he can put as much as he wants into it while other people can't.
The same man who was head of the public prosecutions office that failed to charge the sex rings in places like Bradford because it might be seen as racist.
The same man who failed to charge Jimmy Saville.
The same man who sat on the front bench with Jeremy Corbyn before he stabbed him in the back.
The same man who fought tooth and nail in the commons to try to prevent the voted will of the people to leave the EU. Attempting to overturn a perfectly legal democratic vote.
The same man who told the world that his father worked in a factory but conveniently forget to mention that he owned the factory.
etc. etc........
They've lowered the speed in Wales on the motorway so it will take ages for visitors ages to get here.
They've decided not to build any new roads so it will take ages to get here.
They've scrapped the brynglas tunnel M4 Motorway by pass so it will take ages to get here.
They've lowered the speed in residential areas, so unfamiliar visitors risk speeding points and £100 fines.
They've tripled the council tax for 2nd homes, so the cost for Airbnb will have to go up to pay for it, and many are selling up.
They've proposed a tourist tax.
You could say they've done wonders for the tourism industry
In Cornwall and Devon.
It isn't just really about that though is it. It is about scrapping the whole Wales road building scheme, including the M4 relief road. Its about writing off £51m of our money that they gave away in LOANS to dodgy companies during Covid (which they will never get back). It is about the way that they have run the Wales NHS into the ground. It is about the shambolic way the Welsh Education system is run. It is about the way they handled Covid, including having a health minister who admitted that he never read any of the analysis/advice documents his department was given by the experts. It is about the dictatorial way they treat the people they are supposed to represent. And yet, after all this, there are still people that would vote for them, just to ‘keep the Tories out’.
No need for 20 mph limit in central Cardiff, averaged 2 mph yesterday and missed first 10 minutes of the game.
