Rejected petition Give the people of Wales a referendum on the continuation of Welsh Devolution
There have been a number of high profile u-turns on manifesto promises, most seriously the M4 bypass route. In addition many examples of unpopular legislation have been introduced despite widespread public opposition, for example the 20mph speed limit changes. Millions of taxpayers pounds have been wasted on Senedd pet projects such as Cardiff airport and through mismanagement of large projects such as the Heads of the Valleys road. Drakeford now wants to almost double the size of the Senedd.

Many people feel that the UK is too small to have so many different rules which we have to be aware of when crossing the Severn bridge. The Private Rental Sector is a good example of something that has been changed by the Senedd for no good reason - tenants are no longer called tenants but Contract Holders and their leases are now referred to as contracts. These different names along with the different rules around the PRS cause immense confusion. Rent Smart Wales which was formed to police the Welsh PRS has been heavily criticised, has failed to meet its objectives and has resulted in extra costs for landlords and subsequently tenants.
Quangos such as NRW have detached themselves from the Environment Agency for no obvious reason other than for the sake of it, resulting in a poor service to its customers.
The Welsh NHS is nearing bankruptcy.
