The Missing Agenda: Plaid Cymruβs Nature Blind Spot
Eben Myrddin Muse This weekend Welsh politics is comprehending a new political reality, confirmed by Caerphillyβs electorate β Plaid Cymru are the rising force in Welsh politics, the presumptive gover...
Plaid Cymru has no God-given right to the votes of people who care about nature. To deserve them they must reject the idea that to look out for farmers is to gut regulation and ignore Walesβ environment, because that is a lie βοΈ Eben Myrddin Muse

Yeah thatβs gonna be a big problem for Reform in Senedd election in May, their core vote - disillusioned conservatives/ traditional Labour - arenβt that interested in the Senedd and tend not to bother voting in anything apart from GEβs whilst Plaids supporters are obviously very keen on the Senedd

The by election in Caerphilly today (likely Ref win Plaid close 2nd) will probably throw an absolute grenade into all of this - I think Labour are in danger of their vote collapsing due to the anti-Reform deciding to coalesce around Plaid

Richard Tunnicliffe is the Labour candidate in the Caerphilly.
So a Labour candidate, wants you to vote Labour, to get him elected to a Labour run Senedd, to tell a Labour run council to spend UK Labour provided money to not close libraries that a Labour council are trying to close. Simple.

What is quite ironic here is that for Reform itβs not in their interest for the Tories to completely melt away as it then becomes very difficult for them to get the numbers to form a gov - but with Westminster the opposite is true a total Tory collapse is probs the only way Reform get a majority

Scotland cashed in on Westminster fear. Wales can too.

Put simply, a vote for Plaid in 2026 isnβt just a matter of principle. Itβs a matter of prosperity. Itβs the way we force Westminster to pay attention. Itβs the way we unlock the money Wales is owed βοΈOwen Williams

This isnβt actually too bad a result for Labour given that Llanrumney is the 2nd poorest ward in Cardiff and one of the least ethnically diverse - itβs 85.5% white - so itβs a real target for Reform
