The anti devolutionists (many of whom vote for hamilton's party) didnt accept the result of the 1997 referendum in wales, and some of them are still sniping away in the shape of the 'abolish the assembly' rabble. <br /><br />I am fundamentally opposed to the death penalty and if hanging was reintroduced following a popular vote i would still be opposed to it. The tories could argue they had a mandate to introduce the poll tax after their 1987 general election victory but millions disagreed and rightly campaigned against it, eventually bringing thatcher down of course. <br /><br />So there is no reason why those of us who were opposed to brexit and who think it will be a disaster for wales - which it will be - should change our views on eu membership or be quiet on this.Leigh Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598475954140926742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133809191630290599.post-84979838462721971502017-03-30T18:37:07.593+01:002017-03-30T18:37:07.593+01:00spot on, Hamilton and UKIP's views are the new...spot on, Hamilton and UKIP's views are the new norm and majority held views in Wales, I suspect lots of people were laughing and cheering Neil Hamilton on yesterday after his revolting remarks about suicide.
