Plaid Cymru win Caerphilly by-election

Re: Plaid Cymru win Caerphilly by-election

The south east is a hotbed of immigration issues, I think it’s where reform will do the best

No I don't thinks so. Many graduates in that area and they are not sympathetic to Reform. Look out for Tory votes for Lib Dems being significant.

It was always Ninian Park for me, a top corner screamer from the edge of the box.

that's the reality of first past the post

well that's changing in the Senedd next May . It's now moving to a proportional representative model from next year

if the same results were replicated from yesterday Plaid will get 3 seats in the senedd and reform will get 3 seats in the senedd

the experts claim tactical voting will almost disappear under the new system

16 regions will have 6 seats .It is claimed Reform will get about a third of seats in the Senedd next May

Reform can have that 30 percent vote all day long but they wont be able to rule as they wont find anyone to work with them

Which is fine by me

Plaid cymru unites CCMB 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, wouldn't vote for them but it's for the greater good, and not having to see the #1 grifter grinning on the box when I get home later this evening.

Yes we all seem to be pleased about this, especially not seeing that grinning frog on the tv. I can’t understand why it’s described in such dramatic fashion though. Plaid have been strong on the council for many years and I’m sure they were in charge for a while in the early 2000s perhaps?

Plaid have run Caerphilly Council twice and he was Leader both times

While I am sure Reform are disappointed in their loss,I am not sure that their vote can really be called a damp squib.

We will know more after next year's Senedd and Local council areas votes.

Successful tactical voting may not be so easy on a wider stage
