Will Reform be running Wales after May 7th?

I sincerely hope so

No possible chance.

Unlikely Cons vote so decimated a reform / cons alliance won't get the numbers, e pect plaid to cobble together something with the greens or libs, sell their grannies to stop reform , but you never know anti labour sentiment here huge and the plaid mob have underperformed before.

Hope so. We need two years of seeing them and testing them in office for the veil to drop.

Worked for labour in Westminster. Although, that was about two weeks to be fair.

Farage wants most seats and no power so he can whine and top
up his 5 million.

The refuk leader that farage lied about not knowing, in jail for treason, must be gutted he sold out for 5 figures.

And good bloke Starmer is clinging to power because....?

And good bloke Starmer is clinging to power because....?

I'd guess one of the reasons he is able to cling on is he's not in jail for treason like that welsh reform leader.

Starmer the biggest traitor in the UK.

Starmer the biggest traitor in the UK.

Is this just in your mind?
or do you have some logical reason?

Look at Starmers manifesto promises and look at the current situation.....has traitor written all over it ffs......get to Specsavers

To form the next government of this great nation.

I want to thank the outgoing Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.

His achievement as the first British Asian Prime Minister of our country…

The extra effort that will have required… 

Should not be underestimated by anyone.

We pay tribute to that today…

And we also recognise the dedication and hard work he brought to his leadership.

But now our country has voted, decisively…

For change. 

For national renewal.

And a return of politics to public service.

When the gap between the sacrifices made by people…

And the service they receive from politicians…

Grows this big.

It leads to a weariness in the heart of a nation. 

A draining away of the hope, the spirit, the belief in a better future…

That we need to move forward, together.

Now, this wound…

This lack of trust…

Can only be healed by actions not words…

I know that. 

But we can make a start today…

Taxes on working people for starters.....up up and away

Smash the gangs......shud have said help the gangs and he would have kept a promise

The very first part of his first speech, identity politics.

The exact thing being used to divide the country.

I think the rest of that excerpt is enough...

Building the M4 relief road in South Wales a must.....if you have ever tried getting to or past Cardiff going West on any afternoon/evening always give yourself an extra hour plus for your journey......Reform promise to change this and boost the local economy. Liebour wasted over 150 million in consultation and planning the relief road then scrapped it at the last minute.....not their money to waste but did they care

How exactly are Reform going to change this road issue please?

Look it up ffs

As part of a Community service initiative, perhaps they are going to get folks in jail, like Wales Reform leaders, to dig a new road?

not a bad idea, labour have already dug the hole.

M4 relief should have been built years ago bypassing newport, it should be then taken overthw Severn on top of a hydro generating barrage on one of the biggest tides in the world, but the backward labour lot entrenched there never had the foresight or cajones to do it, wales is 20 years behind most of the UK.

A social media post by prominent member of Reform UK Arron Banks was racist, a Welsh election candidate for the party has said.

James Evans said it was wrong and became the first Reform figure to call it racist.

Arron Banks, an outspoken supporter of the party, posted "Welsh lad?" on X in response to a Plaid Cymru video which was fronted by a black community organiser in Cardiff.

Banks hasn't responded to a request for comment but had said previously that it was a "joke" and Plaid Cymru had "lost their sense of humour".

I wont be voting in Welsh election because i disagree with the new voting system being used. I dont want to vote for a party, i want to vote for individuals who i think will serve my community the best.

If you don't vote....

And on top of that new voting system "not one canvasser have knocked my door or been around my area" so why should i vote for any party.

Not one billionaire has given me £5 million so why should I vote for any party?

Some value in most seats reform in wales, current polling 36 reform 37 plaid, but voters who do fancy reform as a protest rarely admit I when questioned so at the prices reform must be a bet.

Not sure those that voted to ban greyhound racing will be happy, Nigel loves a bit of field sports.

Lots and lots of youngsters voting today, never seen so many going into my local polling station.

I'm guessing turnout may be high, first time I've voted in locals.
Could you have a bet on turnout?

Guy in mine before said it was way down. Around 20% (this was around 5.30)

They must be reform voters or they have been hypnotized.

Guessing high turnout in wales i voted 8.30 pm still very busy, queues elswhere, bye Kier.

Much more likely to be Plaid Cymru who are rather to the left of Labour.

Plaid, Reform, whoever Labour have not lost Wales in a 100 years, this will be the end of him.

High turnouts for the Welsh elections in Wales, and it looks 99.99% sure that Plaid as the most seats, high stacks of plaid ballot papers.
    Clwyd: 51.39%
    Ceredigion Penfro: 55.2%
    Sir Gaerfyrddin: 55.97%
    Pontypridd Cynon Merthyr: 47.28%
    Casnewydd Islwyn: 47.8%
    Caerdydd Penarth: 56.72%

Reminder: Never in a devolved election has turnout been over 50% however that makes an average across Wales at the moment 52.39%

Pontypridd Cynon Merthyr, overwhelming vote for Plaid.

Caerdydd Ffynnon Taf 58.49% turnout.  recount in Blaenau Caerfilli Rhymni.

There's actually a place called Taf

BBC got laugh
Taking to public in
Romford market
Then cut to Bexley say they didn’t do well at
Neighbouring bexley

Unless Romford and harving cross the the Thames
How **** are they neighbours

Just norm try put sly boot in to reform

Blaenau Gwent Caerfilli Rhymney, plaid takes 3 seats.

Caerdydd Penarth, 3 seats for Plaid.

recount in Blaenau Gwent Caerfilli Rhymni for minor placings

Looks like a lot of recounts today in Wales because of the new system of voting

Has the MP who suggested dog racing be banned lost her seat?

She should just about keep her seat but iw will be tight.

Casnewydd Islwyn reform 2, plaid 2

Blaenau Gwent Caerfilli Rhymni reform 3 plaid 3

Pen-y-bont Bro Morgannwg plaid 2 reform 2.

My goodness, can you actually pronounce those places, EMR?

Caerdydd Penarth plaid 3 reform 1.

what's with using all the Welsh names lol. That's a niche audience. I think I got Gwent!

I know ynys mon as I had a nice win there a few years ago

Will be more Welsh names when Plaid takes control of the Senedd

are they planning to lift the daft speed limits?

Pontypridd Cynon Merthyr Plaid 3 reform 2.  If this keeps on Plaid my have overall control of the senedd.

Afan Ogwr Rhondda Plaid 3 Reform 2. Thats a bad result for reform. Looks like a clear cut win for Plaid in Wales.

Bangor Conwy Mon plaid 3 reform 2, bad result for Plaid there in North Wales.

Sir Fynwy Torfaen Plaid 2 Reform 2

Eluned Morgan OUT.

Caerdydd Ffynnon Taf plaid 3 reform 1

Ceredigion Penfro Plaid 3 reform 2, now looks no majority for plaid.

She got in

Gŵyr Abertawe: Plaid 3, Reform 2,

Fflint Wrecsam plaid 2 reform 2.  No overall majority for plaid now.

Plaid Dafydd Trystan has arrived at the Senedd to take his oath to become a Senedd member. He was seen trying to secure his bike outside the Welsh Parliament.

It's faster to travel by bike in Wales than by car

But no other Welsh party will join with Reform to oppose Plaid who should find it easy enough to find a small party to form a coalition with. The big shock to me is the massive strength of Reform in the north of England. An area that has been solid Labour for 60 years. Boris dented them but Nigel has destroyed them.

Plaid have won most seats. go collect

Sageform, they will need Labour to join them.

Gwynedd Maldwyn plaid 4 reform 2.

Plaid Cymru - 43 seats
Reform UK - 34 seats
Labour - Nine seats
Conservatives - Seven seats
Green - Two seats
Liberal Democrat - One seat.

The Welsh hate English more thahn they love Wales.

Welsh "Most seats" Market suspended

If a general election took place next week Labour would not have 1 MP in Wales
