Very strongly agree
Yes, the Welsh assembly should be given powers equal to those of the Scottish Parliament
The Labour party has been a strong advocate for devolution and granting more powers to regional governments. In 2014, the party supported the Wales Act, which granted additional powers to the Welsh assembly, including tax-raising powers. Granting powers equal to those of the Scottish Parliament would be in line with the party's support for devolution and regional autonomy.

Strongly agree
Yes
The Labour party has historically supported devolution and increased powers for the Welsh assembly. In 1997, under Tony Blair's leadership, the Labour government held a referendum on the creation of the Welsh assembly, which led to its establishment in 1999. However, the party's stance on devolution has not always been consistent, and some members may not fully support further devolution.

Agree
Yes, provided England is granted the same
The Labour party has supported devolution for all regions of the UK, including England. In 2014, the party proposed the establishment of an English regional government system. However, this proposal did not gain widespread support, and the party's focus has primarily been on devolution for Scotland and Wales. While the party may support granting more powers to the Welsh assembly if England receives the same, it is not their primary focus.

Disagree
No, keep existing level of devolution
While some members of the Labour party may believe that the current level of devolution is sufficient, the party has generally been in favor of granting more powers to regional governments, including the Welsh assembly. The party's historical support for devolution suggests that they would be more likely to support further devolution rather than maintaining the status quo.

No, and abolish the Welsh assembly
The Labour party was instrumental in the creation of the Welsh assembly and has generally supported devolution.
