The most interesting take on this was from one of the pollsters.
He said that in the lead up to the council election they asked 500 people who they were going to vote for. Labour was on 36%. Last week they asked the exact same 500 people who they would vote for if Andy Burnham was up for election and the number changed to 65%.
That appears to show that the vote for Reform in the local election was in fact a vote against KS. |

You're right Keith. This is an excellent board.
It can always be better though. There are still a number of posters who still call other posters names simply for the reason that that poster has said something they themselves disagree with.
As if only their opinion counts. |

And they are quoting the man himself. His words.
Two thirds of the country now believe that Brexit was a mistake, presumably because they themselves have not seen any benefit from it. But good old Nigel has seen HUGE benefit from it.
£5 million pounds worth. |

I wonder why Nigel and so many of his party's senior politicians are avoiding interviews on TV over the last week or so. Do you think it's because he/ they don't want to be quizzed over his £5 million gift ? Do you think it's anything to do with the fact that this is an election week and Reform may possibly lose votes when people see him as a person in it for his own interests, exactly what he criticises other people for.
Also why has the print media been so quiet about the story. A couple of years ago the story of Keir Starmer and his glasses/suits gift was headline news for ages. Headline news.
And yet, two years later a gift of FIVE MILLION POUNDS has received a miniscule amount of coverage compared with KS's glasses/suits.
Anything to do with KS being Labour ? And NF being essentially Tory ? |

Consistency ? Hardly.
As you say otj, totally different levels of outrage. Ange was pilloried while it's been surprisingly quiet for RT.
Then there's Nigel's £5 million. Very quiet on the right wing media front regarding that gift whereas when Keir Starmer received a 'gift' toward paying for glasses and a couple of suits (a few thousand ?) the outrage in the rabid right wing press lasted for ages.
Disgraceful bias as usual.
And what do we find in Reform's manifesto ? If they are elected into Government reform will enact the 'Cryptoassets and Digital Finance Bill'. I wonder how much the crypto billionaire who gave NF this gift will benefit from that bill.
And of course there's also his £12 million donation to Reform (the party) last year. Done out of the goodness of his heart no doubt. |

Why did you turn a response to my comment into an immigration point ? I didn't refer to it at all.
And regarding the Nation Of Sanctuary policy, 85% or so of the money spent on it has been spent supporting Ukrainian refugees. And i'd guess that probably 100% of the posters on this site welcomed the Ukrainian refugees into the UK, with a proportion coming to Wales, when Russia invaded Ukraine. |

'Compared with Reform, yes.'
To save people going back wondering, this comment was in response to your question 'So having Labour or Plaid in charge would be welcome ?'
I voted Labour for a long time from the seventies onwards before then moving on to Plaid mostly at a UK level but always in Senedd elections for the last twenty years. So i'm not likely to suddenly change my opinions so much that I turn right, swerve the Tories and go even further to the right and go for Reform.
The other parties all refer to 'Labour supported by Plaid' being responsible for our current problems as if Plaid did something wrong. The voting system was, and still is, almost certainly going to ensure no single party achieves a majority. So whoever becomes the largest party just has to work with other like minded parties to govern. That would apply to Reform same as anyone else.
Plaid and Labour are like minded in many ways so it's unsurprising they worked together. Reform would have to work with the Tories as they are like minded parties. The trouble is the two together will almost certainly not have enough MS's to be able to govern.
Lastly i'll say I find it odd that so many Welsh people who rejected the right wing Tories for the last hundred years are suddenly looking to vote for a party that is even more right wing.
Strange. |

I don't understand where you get this from JON. I just watched yesterday's Politics Wales programme and Gaza wasn't mentioned once by any of the six parties.
And in the main election debate programmes (probably lasting three hours between them) I can't remember it being brought up. It may have been mentioned but the vast bulk of the time was spent talking about the NHS, Education, immigration etc etc. |

'Today we saw players unexpectantly popping up all over the park but looking comfortable while do it.'
Today it appeared that Key played every position bar keeper. At one point in the second half he appeared directly in front of us as a left winger. |
