Thread: Welsh Political Barometer

  1. #1

    Welsh Political Barometer

    Support for Welsh independence has hit an historic high according to the most recent Welsh Political Barometer

    https://blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/election...-independence/
    https://nation.cymru/opinion/the-lat...yet-persuaded/

    Interesting results, 32% (when adjusted for don't knows) in a straight Yes/No indy poll is an incredible result considering just 10% supported independence in 2013. By comparison, Scottish independence was polling at 32% in 2013, just a year before their referendum and with the SNP having been in power for 6 years

    Strange times

    I heard the main man was contacted to ask if he would consider changing the question from a would you vote for Independence tomorrow type question to a would you vote for Independence in the future type question, seems like the guy is interested.
    I would have thought that would boost the figures even more for Indy.

    Eh?

    The poll said that more people want independence in Wales and you took that to mean the end of Labour here.

    The same poll says that Labour's popularity has increased 5%.

    We don't need to wait for the next ballot - you were wrong yesterday when you said "oooooops there goes Labour again" based on City123's post.

    I hope that's helped clear it up for you. If you need any futher help (in any thread), I'm happy to be of service.

    Ahem... You were the one reacting to the polls posted by City123. There was no vote for you to "stick" to.

    You just say that stuffwhen you want to put someone down. Very poor and ineffective debating style.

    Re: Welsh Political Barometer

    First one of 2021 came out yesterday: https://blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/election...ometer-poll-2/

    Looking like a 3 horse race, Labour leading in both the constituency and list polls on 34% and 30%, Tories second on 26% & 25% and Plaid in third on 22% and 23%. This translates to 26 seats for Labour, 16 Conservative, 15 Plaid Cymru, 2 for Abolish and 1 Lib Dem. This poll was before the latest scandals though, could lead to increase for both Plaid and Abolish

    If Abolish policy is to take down he ineffectiveness of WAG they have my vote, absolute waste of time and money , get rid of and spend the money on building 5 new hospitals and a decent transport infrastructure.
