Reform favourites, Plaid the only other party that could win it, seems like Labour, Tories, Lib-Dems etc are nowhere.
Talk is Plaid can win if its a low turnout as they tend to get their vote out, Reform will expect to win if its a reasonable turnout as the not particularly politically engaged voters/floating voters might well vote Reform. |  |

Think Plaid might be a dark horse on the outside rails to get a head this week .
Reform are still appearing bouyant and talk big , but let us hope for a good turnout and a result the locals have voted for , those who cannot be bothered then moan after , tough .
Looks like Labour have chucked the towel in on this by election too .
Starmer cannot be interested to cross The Seven Bridge to fly the flag and support his Candidate standing either .
Tories have given up hope to as well , if ever they did have a chance of a victory . | | | |

It reflects what I have found within my own family, reducing the voting age was a stupid idea. The politicians who pushed this through have a distorted opinion of children and politics, of course the children of politicians will have a better understanding of politics because they are brought up in that environment, the majority of children don't really have a clue or actually care. If they wanted to change the law there should have been a structured political learning in schools before the change, not change the law then try and chase with education. |  | | |

If you’re not considered mature or responsible enough to buy a lottery ticket or a pint of beer in a pub you cannot be mature enough to vote in an election. |  |

An interesting conversation on a Caerphilly doorstep recently.
*************************
Writing on her Facebook page, Yuliia Bond, a prominent member of Caerphilly’s Ukrainian community who fled her homeland in the wake of Russia’s invasion, stated: “So, yesterday in Caerphilly, our amazing neighbour Olena, who’s originally from Ukraine, came in 2022, had a very special visitor at her door – a local canvasser from the Reform Party.
“He turns up all smiles, holding leaflets like he’s about to save democracy. ‘Good afternoon!’ he says proudly. “‘’m from the Reform Party – can we count on your support?’
“Olena, ever polite, smiles and replies: ‘Oh, really? You mean the party that wants to scrap the Nation of Sanctuary scheme that actually helped people like me when I came to Wales?’
“He looks confused. She calmly says: “’’m Ukrainian.’ ‘Oh, no – the Nation of Sanctuary programme is only for asylum seekers,’ he says confidently.
“Olena blinks. ‘Actually, no – it’s mainly for Ukrainians. 85% of the funding was used for Ukrainians. That’s literally my scheme.’
“He stammered: ‘Uh … I don’t really know about that. I think maybe we made a … petition against this scheme?’
“Olena raised an eyebrow – the kind of look only a Ukrainian mum can pull off. ‘So you’re knocking on doors,’ she says, ‘but don’t even know your own policies?’
“He laughed nervously, mumbling something about ‘just helping the campaign,’ clutching his leaflets like a life raft.
“Then Olena delivered the knockout line: ‘That’s OK. I do know – and we Ukrainians can vote in local elections now.’
“He blinked, nodded, and practically backed off the doorstep like a man retreating from battle. Pretty sure he’s still googling what his own party stands for.
“Now the neighbours are calling her Olena the Campaign Crusher of Caerphilly.
“Moral of the story? Never knock on a Ukrainian’s door unprepared – we do actually read manifestos and check the information on your leaflets.”

If you don’t want Labour to win, don’t vote PC. Simple as that. |  |

That seems to be what floating Welsh voters are saying. | | | |

Voting PC is just more of the same 26 years of failure I just hope the electorate can see this |  |
