Welsh election: Party campaigns to abolish assembly

David Bevan claims MPs and local councils can run Welsh affairs between them

A party is campaigning for the Welsh Assembly to be abolished as an "expensive mistake".

The Abolish the Welsh Assembly Party has candidates on all five regional lists for the election in May.

Spokesman David Bevan said: "The Welsh Office and our 40 MPs in Westminster did the job perfectly well at a fraction of the cost.

"Anything that needs to be devolved - any issues - we say devolve it to the local authorities," he added.
