As a concerned citizen of Wales, I am deeply troubled by the actions and decisions made by Mark Drakeford during his tenure as the First Minister, he handled covid badly, continues to underfund the NHS and blames Westminster for his shortfallings and now this, an undemocratic decision made that impacts all of his constituates. It is with great urgency and desparation that I call for his removal from this esteemed position.

Mark Drakeford's recent decision to impose strict speed limits under the guise of "safety" has raised serious concerns about his commitment to democracy and transparency. Despite claiming that these restrictions were in line with the wishes of the majority, it is important to question where these figures truly originated from.

The most signed petition in the history of Senedd was created to abolish these speed limits, indicating a significant opposition among Welsh citizens. This raises doubts about the accuracy and legitimacy of claims made by Mr. Drakeford's administration regarding public support for such measures.

It is disheartening to witness a leader who appears detached from the concerns and desires of their constituents. The imposition of unpopular policies without proper consultation undermines democratic principles and erodes trust in our government institutions.

This petition seeks not only accountability but also aims at restoring faith in Welsh democracy by removing Mark Drakeford as First Minister. We believe that a leader who fails to listen and respond appropriately cannot effectively represent our diverse population nor make decisions that truly reflect their needs.

By signing this petition, you join me in expressing your dissatisfaction with Mark Drakeford's leadership style and call for immediate action towards finding a more suitable candidate who will uphold democratic values while prioritizing genuine public interests.

Together, let us work towards ensuring that Wales remains governed by leaders who genuinely represent its people's wishes and aspirations. Sign this petition to remove Mark Drakeford as the First Minister of Wales and pave the way for a brighter future.

Thank you for your support in this important matter.

Sincerely,

Gareth Oates
