Hold a referendum in Wales on abolishing the Senedd and Welsh Government

Closed 581 signatures

What the petition asks

To hold a referendum in Wales on whether to abolish the Senedd and Welsh Government and return the government of Wales to Westminster.
We believe that the last 25 years have been a disaster for Wales and that the introduction of 36 new Members of the Senedd is another unpopular and costly error. We also think that changing the voting system from the previous mix of first past the post and proportional representation is being done not to make the system fairer, but to help allow the current incumbents to hold on in positions we feel they should have relinquished a long time ago.
