The findings below combined with Welsh economic data explains quite a lot of what is about to happen at the Senedd election.

Little nugget from @Ipsos_in_the_UK data. Labour leads with comfortably off / financially stable Reform leads with just about coping / financially precarious / vulnerable Important dynamic moving forward. How can Labour show it is working for the latter groups?

My sign-off from The Telegraph. Catastrophising is Westminster's standard tone. Sometimes, though, a little pressure either way can send us towards very different outcomes. It seems to me that we're in such a period now. I hope to do my part to see us navigate it successfully.

At time when English club game is attracting fresh investment - Newcastle (Red Bull), Exeter (Black Knight Sports) and Bath (Dyson) - dysfunctional governance seems destined to leave Welsh club rugby behind. The above investments suggests Rugby could have untapped potential.

The WRU has created complete chaos, a lot of which could have been avoided if they had been upfront and transparent. So the most important question of all, why should anyone trust them now, especially with the future of the sport in Wales?

@pendefig @Dunadan9 Let’s be honest Cardiff Bay can be just as remote as Westminster

@CJHarries14 @Dunadan9 Westminster is collapsing into London on an ever increasing rate. What good to Wales is a distant lord? Especially ones that pretend to be local.

Interesting @Dunadan9 Reform topping poll, to be frozen out by Bay establishment would threaten devolution in a whole new way. Agree, would further alienate apathetic electorate. While galvanising Reform against devolution settlement. Disagree on threat to nationhood though.

Said it before but Reform winning the vote but not forming the govt will end Welsh self government (and by extension) Wales itself in any meaningful sense. We're very close to that now. Worst possible scenario as the centre-left vote is so split, but Tory vote has gone Reform.

@pendefig @Dunadan9 Devolution is asymmetric and revocable by Parliament. Treating the Senedd as a fully sovereign equal to Westminster is disingenuous. Given Wales is a constituent part of the United Kingdom, parties at National level are not foreign.

@CJHarries14 @Dunadan9 Okay, should the UK then in effort to reduce apathy allow parties registered in other states to stand for election in Westminster?

The very essence of history should be to understand events, their respective causes, consequences, and how they shaped the world we live in today. Too often it fails at that and instead becomes a narrow exercise of either hagiography or iconoclasm of individual actors. Turning complex events into simplistic moral scoreboard. Balanced, chronological, contextual teaching and museum displays is how we should learn from the past.

The reason we’re not “learning from history” is because we’ve stopped teaching history

@douglas_warden Means to an end, advocate a figure with history with Plaid. My take - collegial approach a means to facilitate perpetual Nationalist strain within Government - new approach but in keeping with ratcheting effect of devolution.

The leaders of the major parties in Wales say who they would and wouldn't form a coalition with after the election.

It honestly feels to me that Britain is increasingly a country that's forgotten all of the lessons, principles, and values that once made it one of the most successful nations on the planet, and is hurriedly going about trying to adopt all of those that made other nations fail

This is mind-bogglingly stupid. Reuters manages to get the causal mechanism behind a staffing crunch the exact wrong way around. "Britain is very dependent on foreign care workers; THEREFORE, it must give them ILR so they can go on benefits or switch into another job" ???
Reuters@Reuters

Government plans to make it harder for migrant workers to settle permanently in Britain risk a staffing crunch in care homes for elderly people, where one employee in three is from overseas reut.rs/41MiPvW

@douglas_warden Irony of this is when the changes to system were being proposed - staff from Wales Governance Centre were advocating the now adopted system on basis it would change ethos of politics to be less adversarial and more collegial due to in built need for coalition

@SionJobbins @Dunadan9 Not debating the merits of system vs FPTP at all. Just assessing what would be the most politically expedient and opportune move for Reform UK in such a situation.
