Re: Senedd election prediction

Labour minority government , never thought they would get 30 seats

Tories in certain towns are complaining long waits to vote which saw many walk away was a conspiracy by Labour to reduce the tory vote !

Aww

Time to shake it up I reckon. People over 55 shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Old ****’s pulling the ladder up and destroying the younger generations future.

Following your logic, Oldies shouldn't be allowed to govern either.

Then we'll have real playground politics

I didn’t expect any different but god it’s depressing. Seeing people hating the Conservatives and celebrating Welsh Labour is mind boggling to me, we truly deserve the country we live in.

Thank God Wales bucked the trend and didn’t vote for the God awful Tories.

Re: Senedd election prediction

This election was dominated by covid and that can, to an extent, explain results seen.

By the time we have the next Senedd election we'll have had much more fall-out from Brexit; difficult recovery from covid; Drakeford going; Tories retaining a majority in Westminster and Wales losing seats at that level; and possible independence vote in Scotland.

The incumbent party has had an advantage this time round but could easily swing against them next time.

Agree with most of that.

Re: Senedd election prediction

Interesting point on BBC Wales last night that covid ended up really damaging Plaid, they had planned for a presidential style election campaign pitting Price against an unknown Drakeford but the immense media exposure Drakeford had doing daily press conferences helped labour massively. Also, because of the covid restrictions they lost months of potential canvassing and door knocking which is key to them as they don’t have the financial donors that labour and Tories do.

Plaid need 3-4 regional seats today to limit the damage but I can’t see more than 3 to be honest

I agree that the issue of Covid has helped Drakeford to a certain Degree, but it can work against a politician if they get enough wrong or if like some people think, he has no charisma etc. Drakeford has obviously got more right than wrong for most of the electorate.

I
Every 5 years Plaid make excuses. The fact is they have gone backwards this time, not simply because MD had loads of media exposure, but also because the electorate does not completely buy into its independence narrative.
I know Adam Price is a poster boy to some on here, but he must take some responsibility. A rethink of strategy/leadership is needed.

I don't know, Johnson got virtually everything wrong with Covid during 2020 and it didn't do him, or his party, any harm.

So did a lot of countries though, hard to see how you can prepare for such a catastrophic event well? The vaccine rollout has saved them though.
