non partisan comment on the European Union and Westminster politics

 

Apathy is a Problem for Democracy.

Neil Herron has a post about the opening of the New Welsh Assembly Building by the Queen yesterday and a link to the photographs from Caernarfon Online of the thousands of people who did not turn up in Maes.

At the request of the Assembly the BBC mounted a publicity exercise by putting up a big TV screen in the centre of town.

There is clearly a feeling of apathy to both the Assembly and the Royal Family in Caernarfon.

Obviously for the people of Caernarfon “It was a mistake to use the referendum process, but when you make a mistake you can correct it.
