Calum Davies has a dream: He wants to give the Senedd a new purpose: "a museum to the failed experiment."Some might find it ironic that the 28-year-old hopes to be elected to the chamber at the next Senedd election while advocating its abolition. “There’s a lot of false promises that we can do things better because there’s a Senedd in Cardiff.
