Welsh Parliament (Senedd) Has No Unionist or Pro-Brexit Opposition

The Welsh Parliament or Senedd Cymru is being governed by Labour in a cooperation agreement with Plaid Cymru, who are pro-EU and Welsh Nationalists. Labour in Wales has already done enough cultural, moral, and economic vandalism without Plaid getting involved and making matters worse. 


Welsh Labour currently have 30 MS, Plaid Cymru has 13 MS in the Senedd, Welsh Conservatives do actually have 16 MS - but they do not seem to affect much positive change, and the Welsh Liberal Democrats have a single MS in the Welsh Parliament. Abolish the Welsh Assembly Party, Reform UK and UKIP all no longer hold any Welsh seats in the Senedd. So, that means there are currently no political parties in Wales who are either truly pro-Brexit or want to abolish the Senedd with any elected representatives in the Welsh Parliament at this time. 




Welsh Labour, Mark Drakeford and Plaid Cymru are just centralizing control and they are trying to steal away political and economic authority from Britain without a sensible and practical solution to the complex problems Wales faces in 2022 and beyond. 




On 22 November 2021, Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru agreed on a cooperation deal for control over the government in Wales. A supposedly Unionist political party who were in governance in Wales, whose people voted for Brexit agreed to enter government with an ardently pro-EU and Welsh Nationalist political party that want to break up and divide this country. 




At its Conference on 12 March 2022, Welsh Labour unanimously approved increasing the size of the Senedd. The "Party of the working-man" voted for more bureaucracy, devolution and overpaid politicians. Welsh Labour is as shallow as a worm's grave and as devious as a leopard with no spots.    





"The expansion of the Senedd is essential because the journey of devolution is not yet complete," former First Minister Alun Michael said. "There is more to come. And the capacity needs to be there for those backbenchers to do the job of holding to account that you rightly said, cannot be done by to smaller number of representatives." 





UK Independence Party (UKIP) & Abolish the Welsh Assembly Party are the most vocal and organised political parties that oppose the failed Blairite project of devolution and would like to see the Senedd abolished. They are both fielding candidates in the local elections taking place in Wales. 



Abolish the Welsh Assembly Party declares on the 'Home Section' of their website:  





With only 1 in 4 people voting for the institution, we the people of Wales have been lumbered with it. But hopefully not forever...




Abolish has this to say in regards to the Senedd, or Welsh Parliament:  




We oppose any further transfer of powers

The Assembly is another expensive tier of Government which is totally unnecessary. We in Wales already have Councillors and MP's. How many tiers of government does Wales need? The cost of running The Assembly is very difficult to estimate. We are tempted to think this is deliberate as the figure would, no doubt, be truly shocking. Now we find that Welsh Assembly members are getting paid £67,649 as of 2019. Assembly Cabinet ministers will get £100,000+ p.a. The First Minister's salary is near the level of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, £150,402 pa. The First Minister is only in charge of devolved issues covering Wales. When you consider the salaries of most people in Wales, this is outrageous. This, at a time when our Local Councils are facing huge cuts in services. Last year Wales was the only part of the UK to decrease spending on the NHS. Not only that but Welsh patients were obliged to travel to England to receive life saying treatments not available in Wales. Senior members of NHS staff and many others have moved to England to receive treatments unavailable to them in Wales. Standards of Education in Welsh schools have fallen well behind other areas of the UK. The Assembly says the solution is to give them MORE powers. We say, "Never reinforce Failure".



UKIP (as well as Abolish) fielded candidates in the Senedd Cymru/ Welsh Parliament elections 2021 and they even fielded Neil Hamilton who was formerly a Welsh AM for UKIP in the Welsh Parliament and formerly Assembly. But - neither Abolish nor UKIP returned a single member and they hold no seats at this time. Is this voter apathy? Or is it simply the fact that neither party impressed the public enough for them to bother voting for them in droves? 




The mainstream media and political elite have already fooled the British people into thinking Brexit is over and done with and political parties such as UKIP and Reform UK are irrelevant now Boris Johnson forced through a complete and utter sham of a Brexit deal. Brexit Britain must have an effective pro-Brexit, Unionist and common-sense voice in Welsh Parliament that will hold Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru to account for bad policies and provide a voice for those who have none due to Reform UK, Abolish and UKIP having no seats. 




Wales needs and deserves a sensible, electable third party in the Senedd. Who will topple the Tories in submission, steal votes from Plaid Cymru and will be capable of taking on Welsh Labour and help enact real change? The Brexit-voting, Unionist community in Wales deserves a political party that will serve their interests and act as their voice.
