So far for the #Senedd elections in #Cymru I have so far had communications from #PlaidCymru , the #LibDems and #Reform
For these elections I’m going to actually sit down with them and read them, to see both what they say, and what they don’t say.
I feel like these Senedd elections might be the most important ones to vote in so far.

History does not happen in nice, neat chronological sequences.

It's also subject to two other major factors: 1) new evidence of what happened being discovered; and 2) interpretation.

Politics doesn't come with much more ignorance than it does from the #Farage 🐸 #Fascist Fan Club.

The election to the #senedd in #wales will be fully proportional and thus will provide at best a weak indication of future voting at a #generalelection - the top up system in #scotland - similar to that for the #bundestag in #germany - will be rather more informative. In #england , however, with the exception of #mayoral elections - where the supplementary vote has been restored - elections will be on the traditional 'first past the post' system so comparable to a #generalElection .

FYI Mr Hayward, all the bookmakers have Plaid down as favourites for the #Senedd #Elections2026.

They are a more reliable predictor than opinion polls.

Reform or Plaid? Whichever way Welsh voters go, the country will be utterly transformed

Each party has its own version of nationalism to offer voters in May’s Senedd election: closer ties to England or more independence for Wales, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward
