REPUBLICAN ST DAVID’S DAY DEMONSTRATION

10am Weds March 1st, Oval Basin, Cardiff Bay

RIGHTS FOR THE PEOPLE NOT ROYAL PREROGATIVES

Mrs Windsor will officially open the National Assembly for Wales' new debating chamber on March 1st – St. David's Day.

Our National Assembly does not have the powers to meet the needs of the people of Wales. It has fewer powers than a council - it is little more than a talking shop. It cannot make laws and it cannot raise taxes.

A demonstration has been called by Cardiff Social Forum. We demand:

the right of the National Assembly to decide for itself which powers it has and to determine its relationship with Britain and the rest of Europe
powers for the Assembly to pursue policies for full employment, the expansion of public services and official status for the Welsh language
constitutional rights not the ancient royal prerogative and the abolition of the expensive monarchy
an equal Wales, free from prejudice and a political system free of patronage, deference and corruption

A Government of Wales Bill is on its way through Parliament. It will give greater powers to the Westminster-based Secretary of State for Wales to block any law the Assembly might wish to make. We oppose powers being taken from the Assembly to be given to a minister of the Crown. Wales should be able to decide its own legislation without interference from the crown via Westminster ministers. If it’s good enough for Scotland, it should be good enough for Wales.

How can I get involved or help?

Be part of the Parade: If you're part of a group, your group could enter a float, carry a banner, a national flag (Ddraig Goch, Dewi Sant, regional flag or or a flag of the Princes). If you have a musical instrument or are part of a band - you¹ll be most welcome, or simply join the Parade as an individual but please make sure you dress up - national dress, historical dress, the cilt - it¹s up to you.
