• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

    Senedd Election 2026

    I suppose I am just very cynical about how it would play out here. Labour have a stonking majority and it hasn’t played out well for them. Things have been so dire for them and that’s with such an exceptional majority. People across the world acknowledge and sometimes revere how Parliament is a...

    We are agreeing and I’m not ‘arguing’ I’m just cognisant of the examples where it doesn’t work so was interested in your view. Wasn’t it Belgium that has PR and became perpetually hung (as an actress said to a bishop) not long ago because of it?

    Senedd Election 2026

    You have said it has to but then just presented an example of indirect proportion election results. You haven’t really answered the question. Don’t get me wrong, I have always hated FPTP, I have moved around the UK and always lived in constituencies where my vote has never felt like mattering...

    Appreciate this isn’t imaginative but if we had proportionate democracy then it would lead to rainbow democracies and can you picture that working here…at all?

    Reckon you’re right on Scotland and NI. Scotland came very close so was on the precipice and if reform win the GE then I would have thought that would perhaps be enough to push them over the edge particularly given how the world has changed since. NI seems to be naturally moving towards ‘that’...

    What would you like to see - direct proportion or AV etc?

    Was great meeting you. PC have fallen short of a majority so wonder what happens next, will Welsh Labour marry up? Unlikely I suppose. This must be the end of Starmer Shirley? Not sure how he can survive this

    Senedd Election 2026

    Nah, Brexit has proven itself for ten years now to be a net minus gain for the UK. Thought it was stupid then and even more so now. Reform’s ‘take’ on pretty much everything they stand for makes me somewhat anxious about the UK’s future and the rights of people in the UK who may not be ‘seen to...

    Wow, didn’t expect Reform to do so well in Wales. Interesting…

    What I meant is I think you’re unduly critical of him, particularly given the lack of game time he had last season and how he’s even had to struggle a bit for minutes this season despite the amount of goals he has scored. He can score screamers, score from tight angles facing away from goal and...

    Swansea has a sizeable unionist following. You may have missed it

    You do seem to have a bit of a personal vendetta against him let’s be honest. You do see it amongst Swans supporters now and then, some seem for whatever reason to take a dislike against a player and lay it on a bit thick/lose some perspective to try to save face. Given he’s one of the leading...
