What's Wrong With The Welsh Assembly?

A spokesman for the Welsh Labour leader Rhodri Morgan has said that Wales will become a “laughing stock” if no deal is reached to form the next Welsh Assembly government.

Now, I not sure what exactly the Welsh Assembly does, if anything, so it would appear that they are a bit of a laughing stock already, and it seems that the only thing of use to have happened in their snazzy new building is the filming of the latest episode of Doctor Who.

But maybe I haven’t been paying much attention, and the Welsh Assembly really does do things for the benefit of Wales, the only thing that I can think of is free prescriptions. And although that is good because with a few lies to the doctor drug addicts can get a free hit, it’s not exactly solved all of Wales’ problems.

I thought that the Welsh assembly would be more in touch with the people of Wales than the old boys in Westminster, however it seems that they are even more out of whack with what the people of Wales want. Which in my case is for them all to quit.

I doubt however that they will value my, or anyone else’s opinion on the matter, so as we’re stuck with them I won’t complain about the fact that they are there, instead I think I’ll talk about what they should be doing.

First of all they need to pull their fingers out of their arses. They’re getting paid to run the country so that’s what they should be doing. At the moment they are just wasting tax payers money.

For those of you who have read this far and don’t have a clue what I’m banging on about, well done, thou art indeed a dedicated reader. A couple of weeks ago there was an election in Wales to decide who would be in power. There were a total of 60 seats up for grabs in parliament, and people all over Wales voted for who they wanted in those seats. The results of that election divided the seats in such a way that meant no one party had a majority.

And so because of the very nature of politicians they are all sitting around arguing about who should lead and which parties should join together to make a majority. And this is because the politicians, again because of their very nature, care more about being in power than they do about the people in their country.

I’m not saying that they should abolish the Assembly or keep it, I just think that if it is going to stay then the people running it should stop squabbling and actually do something.

That is my opinion.
