I remember Brexit was was laughingly dismissed as a delusional fantasy. Maybe we should have taken it more seriously, and maybe we should avoid making that mistake in the future. Some recent polls have had support for abolishing the Senedd at 30%.
Personally, I think that would be a tragic mistake. But we recently had a Constitution Commission write 59 pages on the Constitutional situation in Wales in which abolishing the Senedd was hardly addressed at all. Maybe a paragraph or 2.
Now we have the Welsh Labour Government along with Plaid Cymru pushing through a new voting system that no one seems to like very much and hasn’t been put to any kind of public vote.
People often talk about ‘threats to devolution’ being the UK Government trampling all over us or conspiracy theorists lurking on dodgy Facebook groups. But I actually think the biggest threat to devolution is pro-devolutionists being arrogant and delusional about how popular the decisions they’re making actually are. Please… just listen to the concerns people have!
