Why The Assembly is a Disaster.

Sir,

By now even the most fanatic supporter of the Welsh Assembly must be starting to realise that the thing is an unmitigated disaster for the people of Wales.  The 18 Assembly Members who lost their seats in the recent elections received a ‘parachute fee’ of some £825,000 between them whilst many Welsh schools, hospitals and other state run organisations are desperate for cash.  Our First Minister called for Wales to remain part of the EU whilst the majority of voters decided they want to leave but unlike our Prime Minister he has decided not to resign.

Many Tories now recognise the error of their ways in supporting  this political and national disaster with Henry Hill writing on the conservativeHome website:-

“On the flip side, the leader of the Welsh Conservatives in the Assembly has written that the anti-establishment mood which drove Brexit might sweep away the Welsh Assembly too.  At May’s elections a separate party, ‘Abolish the Welsh Assembly Party’, took 4.4 per cent of the regional vote.”

Abolish The welsh Assembly Party achieved this from a standing start with next to zero press coverage.

Then there is the management of the River Wye, one of Britain’s most beautiful water courses which needs careful monitoring to ensure that it remains that way.  However, the Natural Resources Wales had decided to make this almost impossible by dividing up its management so that one team looks after one side and another looks after the other. So next time there is a problem how will we know who needs to investigate? That’s right; we won’t!  I can guarantee that whichever team you contact they will tell you to contact the other!

How much longer will we have to put up with this joke that many now call the ‘Parish Council In the Bay’?

Hopefully it will die on the vine but please do be quick about it.

Jonathon Harrington, Founder, Abolish The Welsh Assembly Party.
