Assembly members discuss the Welsh Assembly’s new name but face disappointment as “Senedd”, the welsh-only title, is rejected.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Members agreed the Welsh Assembly needed to change its name since 2016 and the new title has finally been put to the vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The power of the National Welsh Assembly evolved since it was established in 1999, so members of the Assembly decided on a name change.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new name should\u00a0portray the powers and responsibilities of the devolved government. Indeed, since a referendum in 2011, the Welsh Assembly can make legislative decisions on 20 areas without consulting the UK Parliament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bill in mid-February 2019 was passed to implement the rebranding of the Welsh Assembly. However, it was not until early October that members of the Assembly (AMs) discussed the new proposal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported<\/a>\u00a0by the BBC, the assembly rejected on 9 October the proposition of a Welsh-only name,\u00a0Senedd.\u00a0<\/em>Carwyn Jones, former first minister, believed it needed more of a middle ground, so that the name would be understood by everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead\u00a0of\u00a0Senedd, this new proposal was backed up:\u00a0The\u00a0Welsh Parliament in English and Cymru\u00a0Senedd in Welsh. A bilingual entry, to the disappointment of many AMs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do people in Cardiff think of the Welsh Assembly rejecting a Welsh-only title as its new name?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it should be in Welsh as well, but definitely bilingual, yes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s somewhat tricky but also it is a small country so you kind of have to if you want to be accessible since most places do speak English, especially in Europe.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s in Wales so I feel like it should be fully Welsh. Because it\u2019s ours, we\u2019re not English.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFarcical, disappointing; it being a waste of time is implicit in the farcical part.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it should be left the same, as the Senedd – it gives Wales its own identity.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
