53% turnout. That’s much higher than normal. Excellent.

First time over 50% and only 3% lower than the last UK general election.

Puts any arguments about legitimacy to bed.

Problem with it of course is that God can't sort out Wales and so reform are exactly where they prefer. Throwing stones and promising the earth, having to deliver and do nothing. they'll just take their expenses and pour out their poison. Just like Fartage did in Europe. Still, it's better than being the first UK outpost of MAGA...yet.

The only hope is that Plaid manage to actually make a real fist of it, and not 'do a Starmer'.

Anyway f**k all that, how great will it be to have a majority party that, for the first time by definition, puts Wales first and only.

Deform are very inexperienced in governance. Expect many face plants in the Senedd.

Plaid are getting 41 seats at least. Probably 42. Maybe 43.

Depends if they’re able to function like other grown up European countries and work together on common ground for the people they represent, and not focus on point scoring and playing party politics for the next 4 years.

Plaid Cymru again ole ole

Da iawn Cymru

 

[exiledclaseboy]

The scores are in.

Plaid 43
Reform 34

That’s a fairly viable minority government
