Comment DBCC-8393

I write to make the strongest complaint about the new constituencies being only named in Welsh.

Wales is a bi-lingual country and the names must reflect this. The constituencies are for the UK parliament, and it is essential that all voters throughout the UK should be able to understand information and results etc from all constituencies.

How do you expect a voter in Yorkshire to understand where 'Pen-y-BontBroMorgannwg' is?

What is proposed is the equivalent of having constituencies in Brittany with only Breton names - no French. There would properly be derision if such a thing was even proposed.
