  2. Vote. labour…
    Get the same shit as we have done for decades
    Jobs for the boyos, corruption and ineptitude on a grand scale.

    Vote for billy the local clown, he’s poor so knows what poor people want and how to stay poor.!

  3. Reform are an english national party. It goes against our national interest to have them anywhere near power.

  4. Farage said:

    “None of them [government targets] ever get met. So encourage the language, yes by all means. Put out meaningless targets? I can’t frankly see the point of it.”

    “Just 17.8% of people in Wales speak Welsh, down from 19% a decade ago.

    “The Welsh Government should protect the language but it’s time to drop unrealistic targets.

    “Let’s back practical support, not fantasy goals. Welsh language should be encouraged, not forced.”

  5. I’m not voting for Reform because they’re c**ts. That still counts.

  6. Reminds me of historically labour Bridgend voting Tory to get Brexit done, only to be gifted Jamie Wallis.

    Unfortunately we live in dumb times, where dumb people are gonna vote for dumb things.

  7. Is there much crossover there anyway? Feels like if you’re passionate enough about protecting the Welsh language you’re probably going to give plaid your vote. Are there Welsh speaking communities with growing reform support?

  8. This is a stupid intervention that will achieve what it purports to oppose.

    What to date has been noticeable about Reform is their deliberate and controversial choices on the right not to repeat the errors of the past. They are publicly supporting devolution, Farage is advocating for significant industrial policy at odds with his traditional thatcherite roots, and they are maintaining bilingualism as their advocated policy on the Welsh Language.

    If people are going to ignore all of those political choices and just pretend they are the same old Abolish from the past and debate against that instead, then their credibility will be weakened.

    The reality is, based on polling and recent by-elections, that there is authentic, genuine support amongst the Welsh working class for Reform. It is the Valleys who are voting for them, while the upper middle class English graduates in Cardiff are choosing more left wing alternatives.

  9. It’s hard to tell who’s will as essential two safe labour seats & Powys seat which swapped between tories & Lib Dem’s. As Neath and Swansea East side is with merge with Brecon,cwm Tawe and another part of Powys. It’s going to be hard to tell which party will succeed. For next one 2026. As boundary will change again 2030 one. Where am hoping it’s Swansea bay & NPT & Swansea valley seat. as it will still be big seat.

  10. The Welsh Language will not dictate most people’s vote.

  11. Just don’t vote reform. Reform is for racists and conts.

  12. Stuck between 3 shit options, Labour (need i say more). Plaid who will just do a coalition with labour anyway while slagging them off and reform ffs

  13. Don’t vote reform, please. Fundamental change may be required but they aren’t the key, they’re racists.

  14. It’s obvious that a Reform victory would be disastrous for the language. Unfortunately this will be seen as a positive by those living in Cymru that hate the language as well. I genuinely fear the result of next year’s election.

  15. A lot of people aren’t happy with Welsh Labour or the Welsh nationalists. It might not be a good idea to position the issue as “Welsh language Vs Reform”, because if you pick that culture war you’ll get Reform.
