I just skim read the comments and I have to say its not at all looking good fir him or his pseudo party for the working man . Its now more about appeasing the purple/ green haired freaks within our society than looking after the hard working populace .
Reform party maybe has the policies but not the support whereas the 3 main parties in Wales are useless in the extreme , what a choice we have. |  |

Looks like the Welsh media has now finally woken up with the realisation regarding the dire consequences of thier own neglect, because reporters allowed a bunch of ruinous rank-amateurs on a destruction mission get away with things scot free without any scrutiny and criticism for so long..... Never mind it's only taken a QUARTER OF A CENTURY hey!!!! |  |

One comment that caught my eye was the following: "He’s very clear about his ideology but that is driving things, not evidence or pragmatism." It was the same with his academic publications: trotting out the party line with insufficient concern for sound empirical research and evidence. That is why his contribution to his field is quite limited, albeit popular with those of a Left-leaning bent who like to start studies knowing in advance what the findings will be.

I’m generally supportive of devolution, however I’m really frustrated with some of the policies and initiatives coming out of Cardiff Bay.
We’ve got a national government in Westminster which is shambolic and now we’re seeing some really poor decision making here. Drakers needs to pack his bags and do one. | | | |

Do you think Vaughan Gething will do a better job. Personally I think he is too close to the problem. |  | | |

Devolution means the capital and south east are prioritised .
Strange the hottest area in Wales for independence is furthest away from where the power lies . | |

Gething is a Drakeford yes man, that's the only reason he's still in post. Drakeford has been doing exactly the same as Bojo did, anybody who stands up to him, diagrees with him, they are moved out and a subservient acolyte is moved in.
Gething is part of the problem and he'll probably be the next FM. We are screwed. | | | |

Drakeford hasn't managed to push through his policies without the full support of his underlings , when he goes then who within the party will reverse his disastrous decision making, no one springs to mind ,just look at the voting patterns when major policies such as the speed limit reduction shows that he has virtually full backing . | |

He knows he can do whatever the hell he likes because labour will still get in easily yet again. There is no opposition. He is essentially a dictator at this point. |  |

Reform ? 🤣
With Tice and Farage…? And the support base of middle class English geriatrics who hanker for a past that never was.
You simply cannot be a working class welshman.
Since your Brexit even pthe number of small boat migrants has soared. I thought this mob took back control of our borders ? Clueless. Slogans with no delivery.
Luckily Reform will not fool people in Wales. We see them for what they are.

No…Brexit brought back accountability to elected politicians in Westminster who hid behind the EU Parliament. It’s a similar situation to the Senedd pointing the finger at Westminster for everything that’s lacking in Welsh governance.
On a UK wide level voters are now more than aware of the self centred greed, corruption and total incompetence of our ruling class. It’s very hard to stomach, and I have no doubt the UK will drift more to the right as is being demonstrated currently throughout Europe. | | | |

Indeed so. I think that many working-class Irish people are starting to realise that the supposed benefits of EU membership in terms of inward investment and trade are not trickling down to help those at the bottom. Conversely the savage public expenditure cuts that followed the EU's imposition of the EDP in 2009 still affect the welfare sector and help perpetuate a two tier healthcare system. Some then blame migrants when they see them getting services they cannot get. [Post edited 27 Nov 2023 9:47]

Trickle down economics is a myth, it doesn't happen. The rich get richer, the rest of us poorer.
Hey Kilky, the it isn't how people see "Reform" that matters. What matters is that waaay too many people don't see Welsh Labour for what they really are. That WOL story really shows us who Drakers is, he's a left wing Bojo. He's causing carnage in Wales and when his plans fail he simply says "Westminster" and the Labour poodles and sheep lap it up. | | | |

Fair point. Depending on what you mean by reforming, but I suspect the only way to make things more representative would be proportional representation which opens another can of worms. The problem when you have a situation where 1 party has a massive majority (The Conservatives in Westminster and Labour in Cardiff ) is they tend to believe they’re untouchable, beyond scrutiny and can do anything they like. | | | |

£200 million added to the £114 million wasted on relief road that was never built, added to the £155 million that was sent back to Westminster, because nobody had the intent, the ambition, the talent or common sense to know what to spend it on, added to the £30 million for 20 mph scheme, added to future £120 million for extra politicians in Cardiff Bay. Etc, etc, etc.
Meanwhile vital hospital equipment is either left abandoned or is falling apart! Like I said “Yokels”. And to think some backward independence clowns want that obscenity in Cardiff Bay to have full devolved powers to force-multiply ruination! | |

Thankfully our grandfathers settled things with the right wing in 1945.
Nobody voted for Sunak or that idiot Truss.
The Senedd is not a similar situation at all.
We have no Moggs, Johnsons, or Bravermans. | |

Those last 8 words of yours provides the problem we face in Wales, a typical narrow minded short-sighted voter whose happy to see Wales face years of continual under investment, millions wasted , a closed talking shop which is set to expand in the favour of labour , the very party which was formed to protect the rights and care for the needs of not just the working man but of all which is now a disgrace and embarrassment to the memory of those who created the labour movement
Plaid are a non entity and can only hold onto the shirt tails of any party desperate enough to have them on board . | |
