On Tuesday, Attorney General Mick Antoniw pledged to pass legislation, saving the government from a humiliating loss in the Welsh Parliament.
In an attempt to thwart Plaid Cymru’s attempt to enact its own version of the ban, Labour stood to lose a vote.
Mr. Antoniw pledged that candidates and politicians on the Senedd who were found guilty of purposeful misrepresentation would not be allowed to continue serving as Members of the Senedd (MS).
Adam Price, a former leader of Plaid Cymru, described the announcement as “truly historic.”.
All during the day, talks had been held with opposition parties; on Tuesday morning, Mr. Antoniw even made the uncommon decision to attend a meeting of the Conservative Party group.
In order to add a new crime of political deceit, Mr. Waters assisted the former leader of Plaid in amending a legislation on election operations that is presently being reviewed by the Senedd in May.
That was in spite of the Welsh government’s objections.
The chief legal advisor to the administration, Mr. Antoniw, criticized the absence of police consultation.
He cautioned that there was “a serious risk of political debate being stifled and effective scrutiny of the government being undermined” in a letter to MSs.
