Rejected petition Referendum on increase of MS by 36

The increase number of MS by 36 needs to be put to the Senedd employers, the voting public as what is being proposed is nothing minor but a full fundamental way of our voting rights, as you are an employee you should be taking this to your employer to see if this is acceptable to them due to the increased cost and the removal of rights of how the votes will be cast and who will be allowed to enter the political race. Wales should be run under democracy not dictatorship.
