It’s basically pointing out that Reform (UK) is an English nationalist party, and in a recent poll is ahead of both Plaid and Welsh Labour.
How much of this is due to the English diaspora in Wales? Wales has to take a page from Reform and push back against these hostile foreign elements.
Who in their right mind in Wales would vote for a far right, privately owned, English company?
we have a genuine problem here in Wales. The boarder is incredibly porous And is being made increasingly more porous. The biggest example being the removal of tolls on the M4 which massively increased house prices in south east Wales where people are able to easily move over the border. North East Wales is the same and the new transport plans for rail are all about making the area more attractive for Liverpool commuters.
This combined with an appallingly weak media means an English national party like reform can grab a strong foothold. The probable Plaid/Reform/Labour split in May just reflects the fracturing of Wales-First, UK-First, and What’s the point in Wales Anyway voting habits. The larger UK media attention because of their love for Reform drama will probably drive higher turnout in the latter group too.
Pretty certain Reform UK isn’t good for England or Scotland either. Maybe Russia?
Colour me surprised!
