The Welsh Government is planning to allow people to self-identify their gender when standing as candidates for the Senedd.
Plans to increase the number of Senedd Members from 60 to 96 and change the electoral system to one that is wholly proportional have already been published in a Draft Bill.
But the Bill excluded another reform to which both Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru are committed: creating a gender-balanced Senedd by having quotas for male and female candidates. Instead, the Welsh Government has said that a second Draft Bill covering this aspect will be published before the end of 2023.
TalkTV’s Kevin O’Sullivan and Alex Phillips are joined by 'Standing For Women' founder Kellie-Jay Keen who slams the Welsh Government's "nonsense" plan to allow self-identifying transgender women to stand in Senedd elections as females.
Kellie says: "I'm sick and tired of anywhere that pretends that 'woman' is some indefinable concept!"
