Re: 20mph online petition

Let's boot Labour out, construct a chamber which enforces a broad coaltion of parties .

Bring in mandatory voting for the 3.21 million voters . The current administration was elected by under 500k ffs how does that reflect democracy.

Allow the electrate to vote for AM and First Minster at the same time .

Any petition over a million has to.be acted on not just discussed.

First Ministers to be deselected if half the population in Wales petion WAG.

Or just get rid of the lot and stop the £19.5m per yesr on top of the Senedd's existing budget of £67m. Per fecking year yep per year

How many hospitals would that build or provide how many extra Teachers and Police ???

We talk about Westminster waste my god we're trying to catch up..

Hypocrisy at its best ..

Re: 20mph online petition

Im making a general observation about the, Thatcherite, “I, me, mine” generation (the generation that I often feel ashamed to belong to) who are now at, or reaching, retirement age and yet they’re being pandered to at the expense of people younger than them - the furore kicked up by some about a reduction in the speed limit being symptomatic of the sense of entitlement a lot of youngsters accuse us sixty pluses of having.

Yeah, fair point, although I'm not sure that applies here. I'm not sure those signing the petition have any relationship to Thatcherism (far higher numbers have signed it in the valleys than rural Wales for example) and I don't think it's an older generation thing either. I think older generations generally are more supportive of the 20mph thing as they perhaps have more time on their hands on a day to day basis.

I can see why people are pissed off about it tbh. People lead busy lives and any intervention that seems pointless to them is going to cause resentment

I drove through Pentwyn, Rhyd-Y-Penau Road, Fidlas Road, Station Road, Heol Hir and Templeton Avenue yesterday, all at 20 mph.

Almost nodded off twice, 20mph is dangerous !!!!!

Brext vote proved that, all the alleged lefties who came out to vote to leave in big numbers then voted Labour in the next GE , even knowing Sir Bier was desperately to remain ..

Boris was more left than Sir Bier.

1) Not decided upon a whim at all - but an evidence based decision, that hasn't only been made here, but in a large number of other areas throughout the world.
2) I doubt tis will have any significant effect on how the votes play out here.
3) For what - to save lives!

Now this is something regardless of political opinions and agendas I would happily back. Some of the turnouts for elections in Wales have been pathetic.

Why. ?I dont think ive ever voted in a Senedd election.

Why should I have to vote for any of them.?

I admit I would turn out if I thought there was the slightest chance of a Tory tw@t getting in. But that would just be #anyone but the Tories.

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.
