Rejected petition Stop the increase of senedd members from 60 to 96

We have too many assembly members of the senedd at great cost to the Welsh public as it is
The last thing Wales needs is to increase members by 36 when public spending is stretched to the limit and we have more than enough politicians anyway

More details

There are more than enough polititions in Wales from from local councils to welsh members of the UK parliament
To increase senedd assembly members by 60% at huge cost to the public purse is illogical and an outrageous proposition

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue, or if the Petitions Committee has considered one in the last year.

Another petition about this matter will shortly be considered by the Petitions Committee:
I oppose the Welsh Government "Senedd Reform Bill", published 18 September 2023, becoming law
