It seems all too easy for correspondents to criticise the Welsh Assembly, without offering any positive suggestions.

We are all apt to moan at times, but some people appear more determined to undermine their own arguments by offering no suitable alternatives.

Roy Purnell obviously dislikes the Welsh Assembly and all matters connected with the language: that is fine and an honest account of his feelings.But to offer no alternative suggestions rather defeats his own objectives.

We can all 'shoot down' other people's opinions, or preferences. However, positive and constructive reasoning is often omitted from arguments that leads some of us to conclude that alternatives are not always easy to form.
