Has Mark Drakeford been a good First Minister?
Yes

No
77%
For all the people who thought Mark Drakeford was the right man in the pandemic, there were a sizeable number who thought he was too cautious, too slow to give freedom back and who made the wrong call time after time. There was a growing number within his party too who thought he had it wrong. He was too focused on his legacy, not the basics like awful education or health standards, his style, the way he did things, there was growing discontent and anger towards him within his party, and in polls.
Not only had his personal approvals plummeted, but Welsh Labour's too. The popularity of Sir Keir Starmer had grown. An ITV Cymru Wales/Barn Cymru poll last week saw Mark Drakeford's popularity with the Welsh public is at an 18-month low as more than half of respondents (56%) believe he is doing a bad job of being First Minister.
Funny, I can’t remember anyone called Pipster posting on here when Thatcher died. You’re not yet another right wing multi are you?
I’m not sure what you’re trying to do, you come on a thread about Drakeford stepping down comparing Thatcher to Glenys Kinnock, then start going on about pits being closed. What’s any of it got to do with Mark Drakeford?

Mark Drakeford quits: How the ex-probation officer and university lecturer went on to become Welsh First Minister after rising from Labour's left-wing - while also battling family difficulties with his rapist son's imprisonment
TFFT - Drakeford has pushed back the Wales economy 5 years plus with his pathetic short sighted useless policies
M4 relief road cancellation being one of many
Glad he's gone and saying no more other than sometimes, it's better the devil you know.
Just look at the shithouse America has degenerated into in the past 3 years.
It's a shame he's going to be hanging around till Easter as he's very toxic now
Can't he just leave and be done with it ?
I don't have any sympathy for hi though he should have resigned after we came out of lockdown
I hope a relatively quiet type is appointed so the Tories get back in their box and Plaid just wave their arms about
Same old story
We want independence shout Plaid
But when it comes down to it people just won't vote for it
If Drakeford was replaced by a decent leader and Labour pulled back on a few clear policy screw ups it would be the end of the show again
A junior partner in a coalition is fair enough but once the idea of a independent Wales comes about the majority of the population turn up their noses
So initially you argued that Drakeford wasn't fit for the role as it would be above his understanding as he was "just" a social worker. Now it's been pointed out that he's intellectually very capable and has plenty of political experience it's "common sense" that is needed. Make your mind up.
I'm no fan of Drakeford's, but he's clearly not an idiot and we certainly could have had a far worse FM than him
