Rejected petition Prevent Welsh Assembly from wasting £25 million by increasing the assembly members from 60 to 96.
Very approximately- Westminster has 1 MP for 110000 people. The Welsh Assembly has 1 AM for 66000 people but they want to increase that to 1 AM for every 44000 people. This expansion of windbags is unacceptable particularly in a time when the NHS needs help to get back on its feet. Let’s tell them we don’t want to waste money on this madness.
