“Abolish the Wales Assembly” was the principal message of the UKIP (Wales)
manifesto for the recent Wales Assembly elections. It went down like a lead balloon.

UKIPs policy is to abolish the present Welsh Assembly and hand its responsibilities to Welsh MPs who would meet in different parts of Wales to legislate on specifically Welsh matters. In their absence from the House of Commons, English constituency MPs would deliberate on English domestic matters.
When the people of Wales become fully aware of the massive cost of the present Welsh Assembly I believe that they will be view alternative some alternative suggestions to it with interest. The cost of the Welsh Assembly - as well as the full constitutional implications of it - have not yet been made a mainstream issue in Welsh politics.
We will see how the Welsh people feel about the cost of the Assembly upon the occasions of its tenth birthday in 2009.
