Rejected petition Lift campaign restrictions so the Welsh elections can be fought fairly

In England, campaign restrictions will be lifted on the 8th of March including the delivery of leaflets and door to door canvassing.

We ask the Welsh Government to allow parties to campaign safely, the current arrangements giving the incumbent government an unfair and undemocratic electoral advantage.
