Welsh Labour come out fighting to win by-election
SCOTTISH party leaders are being urged to embed people power into the country’s politics by creating a permanent citizens’ assembly.
More than 2,000 people have signed a petition calling for the creation of a “house of citizens,” which it is claimed could stand in stark contrast to the House of Lords at Westminster.
The SNP pledged in its election manifesto to hold an annual citizens’ assembly to look at “some of the more complex issues we face as a country.”
