CHANGES MADE IN THE WELSH REFERENDUM 2011
According to Merriam-Webster dictionary(2012) the word ' referendum' means ' an event in which the people of a county, state, etc., vote for or against a law that deals with a specific issue : a public vote on a particular issue'.Changes were made after a referendum for the national assembly for wales after an election was held to have legislative powers which occurred on 03 March 2011.I was not aware that welsh now has its own government. The changes in the referendum would allow the National
Assembly for Wales and the Welsh Government to create laws in wales independently without negotiation between the government of UK and wales.
