How would you change Wales for the better?

This poll suggesting Reform would be the largest party in the Senedd in 2026, alongside an effective wipeout for the Conservatives, if replicated in the actual election, would set up an interesting Welsh Government dynamic for the next term - still no π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ leader for RUK though...

Love the blank picture for Reformβs leader in Wales!
Says it all.
No policies, no leader, no respect for Wales.
This is what I meant yesterday about big change after the boomer generationβs political weight starts to drop off.
Under-25s would elect 0 (yes, zero) Reform Senedd members, yet the boomers would deliver 32 (with 22 Tories too).
Thereβs a huge shift on the horizon.
Hereβs the U25s for comparison

Segregated demographic data from the recent Barn Cymru ITV YouGov poll (060525), when translated into actual seats in the Senedd, gives wildly differing results across age brackets - Under 25s is out, others to follow, analysis on other aspects incoming too π peeled!

Not a single Reform seat to be seen (theyβre polling at 4% in this age group in Wales).

Senedd seat Projection based on the Barn Cymru MRP poll published May 6th - as ever many sixth seat allocations are very marginal (in this case a small fall in RUK support would see them dropping a significant number of their second constituency seats)

On New Wales - purpose, goals, a willingness to speak up and speak out
On talking to our diaspora and the whole of π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ , not just a Cardiff policy bubble

π when π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ leads the world - as it does with Future Gen
Even better if Senedd had the powers to allow Welsh Govt to give Future Gen real teeth
Picture an office vested with both π₯ and stick, securing the wellbeing of future generations in π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ as a fundamental part of the structure of society π€π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ
