Senedd election prediction

Re: Senedd election prediction

Although not worrying for everyone. The conservative voters won’t worry at all will they!

Well as long as they don't get enough votes to run the country I couldn't give two fecks

If they increase the amount of people that vote for them they will see it as a victory but as long as Labour get a decent leader they will be always spouting off from the sidelines

Which is what Labour nationally needs to do , get rid of starmer

Re: Senedd election prediction

What worries me more is somebody saying that a party need to get rid of their leaders. Doesn’t say much about the party does it?

I don't care , drakeford has had his marching orders so its onwards and upwards

Re: Senedd election prediction

Close, but no cigar!!!!

if Labour govern directly or with a coalition I don't care

Nationally Labour should team up with the liberals so it makes sense to me

Re: Senedd election prediction

I voted about an hour or so ago and I had a chat with one of the tellers whom I know. She has been working in my local polling station for a number of years and said she has never seen it so busy, even in General Elections.
She said the have had a queue all day albeit only 4 or 5 people but she has never ever seen a queue before and also that they normally use 1 ballot box and as we spoke they were currently on their third for the day.
I know there is extra paper because of the Police commissioner vote but even so there seems to be more people than usual bothering to cast their votes.

That cannot be a bad thing, but if it is mirrored across Wales who will benefit? That's the question?

I would just add that there was a small queue when I voted when I went in and when I came out and that was close to 8 PM, most unusual.

poor weather and a low turnout usually favours the conservatives but maybe the recent bounce in support for the tories has seen them come out

Two things. firstly you were incorrect, and secondly it will be difficult for labour to team up with the liberals in Wales if they manage to lose their one and only seat.

Very few

Plaid offers a clear option , if independence was as strong as you and other nationalists want it to be , then the vote wouldn't be trailing behind the tories

You are kidding yourself but carry on

2 questions:

1. Do you believe everyone who wants independence would only vote Plaid?

2. Do you believe everyone who votes Plaid wants independence?

Two things , Labour if they win the majority of seats either rule outright or with a coalition . That's fine by me .

Nationally is UK wide , as in general elections

Even so the liberals seem a bust flush so I think a left of centre party to keep out the tories which the majority of the electorate want is the future

You're just trying to confuse now aren't you?

Confusing Sludge isn't difficult at times. If Kate Humble was naked in her car on the back seat and there was a kebab on the bonnet, he wouldn't know what to do.

Adam Price has been spouting on the TV for weeks asking people to vote plaid

You and your lot have their chance

If plaids vote increases then great , if they gain seats fantastic

If Plaid Cymru , the only true independence party at this election don't do really well then either all these polls about increasing support for independence are cobblers or the pro independence lot can't be bothered

The way to change things is to vote

If people can't be arsed to vote for an independence party in 2021 , when are they going to bother ?

Re: Senedd election prediction

I’m actually surprised by the amount of people I know that have voted Plaid, including a number of lifetime Labour voters. Might be too early to have an impact this election though. Regardless of where you stand, a shake up can only benefit Welsh Politics.

My local place was saying they’ve had a a good turnout with youngsters too. I had to queue around 40 minutes.

Plaid is the obvious choice for any left leaning voter disillusioned with Labour, that's the message I'm getting from friends of mine.

I know lots of people who still vote Labour but want independence, but Sludge won't have that.

We will see tomorrow if left leaning Labour voters have deserted Labour for plaid

Or the Labour vote has gone to the tories

If people want independence then why are they voting Labour and not plaid ?

They sound like crackpots

Is it not because independence isn't an issue in this election and it is possible to support independence and vote for someone other than Plaid?

I also think it's too simplistic to suggest that Labour will only lose votes to the Tories (and hence Plaid don't pick up or lose voters accordingly).
