The Police Commissioner elections highlight this problem to an even greater degree.<br /><br />Complain to your MP (and AM, if you have one) that they are making laws without any understanding, experience, or legitimacy. This will be like water off a duck's back, but maybe one day, enough people will make enough noise. Talk to like-minded people and encourage them to do the same. Write letters to newspapers or blog about the problem.<br /><br />If you have the time (but not many useful people do), stand for elected office.

The Labour government running Wales didn't manage to win a majority in an election which saw only about 42% turn-out. They have no real mandate, but they'll carry-on regardless.

I am slightly uncomfortable with what I have read as a result of following some of the links posted here. I would like to stress that the page is open to Welsh based home educators to discuss the Welsh Assembly proposals to register all home educated children.

Wendy is the guest speaker. We are home educators and we have also signed the petition and I have to say that I too was concerned that the Welsh Assembly would discount the signatures from across the border and further afield as they are a devolved government. We are a very small group of people here in Wales that I know of and there are many home educators here who choose not to be identified. I am not an expert on the subject but I appreciate Simon's blog is a very useful source of information for us in Wales. We have all seen what happens in what I like to call the Saville Factor. Blindly following false prophets and do gooders. Scratch the surface or care to take the time to do some research and ye will find. Thank you Simon for the information you care to share with the world. I will be asking some questions at the meeting and I have no doubt that the many other Welsh home educators will also seek some clarification.

A constituent had called on him for support and drawn his attention to a petition against the new measures. As a Welsh patriot, he was a bit puzzled to know why most of those signing it were in England or even places as far away as Singapore or Canada! He asked me for some information about various things and it was in the course of our exchanges that he said that some of his colleagues were irritated, because it seemed to them that opposition to the new law was being coordinated by groups in England.Simon Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865289865412656573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-74391506382854091992012-10-24T03:43:14.096-07:002012-10-24T03:43:14.096-07:00Oh I see, yes, I misread that.

The people to whom you refer are presumably home educators in Wales who want more support from people in England. I was talking about members of the Welsh legislature, who are discussing a proposal which will only affect those in Wales. I am sure that you have noticed that the majority of those signing online petitions opposed to the Bill are not actually living in Wales. <br /><br />It was in this context that I was suggesting that a document written by an English businesswoman might not be as well received as one by a Welsh home educator.Simon Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865289865412656573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-42919663782887824192012-10-24T02:22:13.588-07:002012-10-24T02:22:13.588-07:00"Some of them are already getting a little ti..."Some of them are already getting a little ticked off at the fact that most of the opposition to the proposed Bill is coming from England, rather than Wales."<br /><br />Really?
