@Oyu_Fka @DrALJONES @Su_G Yes, PR will be used for the Senedd elections, but all the indications since the #Caerffili by-election point to Plaid keeping out the Farage Fan Club.

“Reform UK tried to create panic and hate with tactics used not only in the UK, but by far-right political parties all over Europe and across the world. The messages they used in Caerphilly didn’t feel local. They felt imported – like someone copied a script from another country and dropped it through our doors.”

‘They misjudged Caerphilly’: how the Reform juggernaut backfired in Welsh byelection

It was assumed that Reform would sweep all before it – but locals rejected the party’s campaign of ‘lies and hate’

Erthygl diddorol tu hwnt.

Dwi dal yn meddwl y gallai ffactorau eraill fod wedi cyfrannu at y gwahaniaeth rhwng y pôl a'r canyliad.

Why did the polls get the Caerphilly byelection wrong? They ignored the fact Reform is an English nationalist party

Paul Whiteley, Professor, Department of Government, University of Essex The results of the Caerphilly Senedd byelection held on October 23 were certainly a shock to Labour and to the Conservatives, but they also cast doubt on the reliability of polling as well. It had for some time appeared that Reform was in the running to […]

Edrych ar ymateb i isetholiad #Caerffili yn y cyfryngau Prydeinig.

Dim cydnabyddiaeth taw etholiad Cymreig oedd e!

Angen cofio bod #PlaidCymru wedi ymgyrchu ar gael chwarae teg ariannol, a chyd-destun rheolaeth (a phroblemau) Llafur Cymru.

"Plaid Cymru’s byelection victory in the Welsh town of Caerphilly is unprecedented. Labour had won every election here for more than a century"

Dwi'n siwr dydy'r honiad yn y frawddeg gyntaf yn wir - mae wardiau'r dref yn ethol cynghorwyr sir Plaid Cymru yn gyson a bu PC yn rheoli'r cyngor sir am gyfnod yn y 2000au.

Plaid Cymru’s victory in Caerphilly points to a new kind of electorate

The Welsh town’s byelection was a two-party race – but this time neither Labour nor the Conservatives were in it

The Guardian

“Dwi’n fachgen tŷ cyngor, ac yn falch o alw fan hyn yn adref”

Mae’r fuddugoliaeth hon yn rhoi momentwm enfawr i Blaid Cymru i gyflawni’r newid cadarnhaol mae pobl yn chwilio amdano fis Mai nesaf.

Bydd Lindsay Whittle a Phlaid Cymru yn gweithio’n ddiflino dros gymunedau Caerffili, a Chymru gyfan.

#Caerffili shows what can be achieved when an #antifascist majority unites behind one candidate/party. #Wales #plaidcymru #caerphilly

Gosh.

Resounding victory for Plaid on 47.4% to Reform's 36%. Labour crushed on a mere 11%, and Tories down to 2%.

Bitter pill to swallow seeing us lose Hefin's seat, but Reform represents an existential threat to our democracy and I am very glad that Plaid prevented them from taking it.
