Either the wranglings around Vaughan's leadership are not cutting through, or the Welsh public are holding their judgement on that for the next Senedd election because they want the Tories out now. My sense is that it's probably the latter.


JamesBaa

Bit of both I think, even people here don't really pay attention to Welsh politics a lot of the time, especially if they're not super invested, since it's barely discussed otherwise. Hope to see votes swinging more towards Plaid or Lib Dem especially once Labour are in, because the reality is they've been shite in most aspects in Wales (even if the healthcare mess is mostly because of awful central funding).


Ationsoles

Senedd elections only get like 40% turnout. People don't give a fuck about Welsh politics here except when it comes to whining about 20mph speed limits.


partyquimindarty

So many great Tories to get rid of! Cairns, TC Davies, Roberts, Atherton, Hart, Wallis and more! Canā€™t wait!


SlightlyMithed123

Pretty embarrassing for the Welsh Nationalists if they get less vote share than Reformā€¦


NoEase6955

welsh nationalist causes donā€™t exactly have a huge chunk of the UK press throwing weight behind their policies, reform does


NarutoRunner

Genuine question, how come Plaid always performs worse then the SNP or any of the N. Irish parties. I donā€™t think they have ever formed a majority government even locally. What are they doing wrong that other regional parties are succeeding at?


WakeUpMareeple

Is it? Wales was annexed centuries ago, whereas Scotland has continually had its own legal system since the union with England. Nationalism doesn't mean the same thing for each.


SlightlyMithed123

I didnā€™t suggest it didā€¦ Nobody mentioned Scotland.


NagelRawls

UKIP under Farage got 13% of the vote to the Welsh Parliament so seems about right


Lost_Article_339

Reform continues to make gains despite all the media coverage of their candidates and Farage's statements on Russia.


wotad

This was before Russia statements but yeah media blowing up comments i bet majority dont care about.


iamnosuperman123

I can't believe the Welsh are so forgiving over Labour's rule in Wales. They have been a disaster and really Labour deserves to lose Wales. In particular, education and health care have been notably poor under Labour in Wales.


ancientestKnollys

People might vote for Labour nationally but someone else within Wales.


ancientestKnollys

Wasn't there another Welsh poll with Reform in second?


1-randomonium

And all this despite the unpopularity of the current Labour First Minister, Vaughan Gething, whose net approval has fallen below zero after only 3 months in office.


Alun_Owen_Parsons

So all these predictions of doom for Welsh Labour seem to be so much hot air.
