I don't see Labour winning the next election, but I can't see Plaid winning it either. The gender based zipping policy means that many candidates who would otherwise have credible chances of winning are likely to be pushed so far down the list that it's unlikely they will be elected. For instance, it's highly unlikely that both Cefin Campbell and Adam Price will be in the next Senedd. This, of course, leaves an open door for Reform, who would be a disaster for Welsh devolution.

As part of the research I have also been speaking to people (off the record) who have intimate experience within the UK and Welsh Governments.

Hi Iain, It’s great to see your dedication to your party Especially as just two months ago, you were the Chairman of the Brecon, Radnor and Cwmtawe Conservative Association and an elected Tory councillor.
@WillHayCardiff The more people who see efforts made to ‘stop @reformparty_uk’ the more people are turning to us. They have had enough of being told who they ‘must support’, the more misinformation they are fed about the state of our Country, and the more the other parties lie to us, the more
