A new political party has just been founded. Its called “Abolish The Welsh Assembly Party.” This is a brilliant idea. Finally those people who have always thought the Assembly was a bad idea, and those who have become disillusioned over the past 17 years, have a Party to vote for.
Wales has to be very careful or, one day, England will politely walk away.

A BRILLIANT IDEA???? WTF. No offense meant David but this is childish nonsense by a party out of touch with what we want in Wales. From the start we have always had people chanting, “WAG is a failure, WAG is a failure”, but in fact the WAG has been good for us and if we follow the idiots of the ATWAP we will return to the bottom of the UK pile with no future in Wales for our children or grandchildren.
With respect, I think you may both have misunderstood the purpose of this blog. If you wish to have an argument about this, please do so elsewhere.
Roger sorry and point taken
Diolch.
Is the same David Bevan that pushed his fear under a UKIP banner not long ago? I presume he would rather live in an undevolved Wales that would have Junior doctors on strike and teachers close to strike as they are in England. Where’s your ambition for a better Wales? Time to wake up I think and look at the facts.
Then I hope we’re not careful.
C’mon Wales, I agree. I live in Monmouthshire and we are now under threat as never before. First we had the English Democrats, trying to sell their history of Monmouthshire to people like me who were actually born in Monmouthshire and know what went on, and get a bit nasty when you point out to them you are actually from Monmouthshire and know they are making up lies. Now we have the Abolish Wales Party. With the rise of extreme English nationalism, as exemplified by the English Democrats and now the Abolish Wales Party, both of which want to erase Wales from the map, perhaps its time to consider our future within the UK. I have always believe that Wales is better within the UK, and in 1997 voted against devolution, but now we maybe better off with a lot more devolution. What do you think the reaction would be if Welsh people living in England started a campaign to abolish Westminster because of its continuous failings, or to annex Gloucestershire by claiming it was a Welsh county in 1974.
I agree with Philip this is a silly party that belongs with the raving bunch. We could reduce the mps sent to Westminster and have a handful from all the devolved regions across the British Isles and with it reduce the house of Lords from its bloated 1000th or so. Wales is a country and needs to be recognised as such not the western end of England. We need more powers not less
Despite the fact that the Abolish The Assembly Party is new, has never campaigned for anything in Wales, or fought a single election here, they have a participant in the BBC Wales TV coverage on election night tonight. The Communist Party has fought elections in Wales since 1921, is contesting all the regional seats this time – yet I have seen nobody from that party on the panel of any TV coverage in Wales whatsoever dueing this election campaign. Bias, or is it just me!
Wasn’t there a July YouGov poll?
Yes.
Rubbish sorry but we need to strengthen the assembly and reduce West minster influence get real. Maybe we could have a abolish the tory party party that would make more sense
Excellent resources. Really helping with my study on Senedd political engagement. Diolch!
