Welsh Labour will get some votes no matter what they do especially in the Valleys after the mine closures, and to a point that's understandable. I do think they will lose a lot of votes because of Drakeford, how many and will it have much of an effect, probably not because a lot of people will vote for Welsh Labour no matter how daft their policies are.
This is a very board and there is no one left saying this is a good policy and should have been a top priority for spending as it's far more important than other services like the NHS.
Some tried but even the dullest knows it's nonsense now to try and defend it.
