In Scotland, the Scottish National Party (SNP), in power for almost twenty years, should be able to gather enough votes to stay in government and continue its long battle to gain independence from London. The novelty of this election, however, is the rise of Reform, which starting from scratch could beat both Labour, also in decline, and the Tories. The Greens could establish themselves as a credible left-wing alternative to Labour.<\/p>\n
If no shake-up is expected in Scotland, a real political revolution is on the horizon in Wales. If the polls turn out to be accurate, the Labour Party, which has ruled in Cardiff uninterruptedly since then-premier Tony Blair granted autonomy to Wales almost thirty years ago, will not only lose support but also collapse to third place.<\/p>\n

In fact, a head-to-head contest is looming between Plaid Cymru, the Welsh nationalist party that, like the SNP, aspires to independence, and Reform. The latest polls give Plaid Cymru a slight lead, but what is certain is that Farage’s party, until recently considered exclusively British, has managed to find support in the other two British nations and in the worst case scenario will come second in Wales.<\/p>\n
“We are witnessing the fragmentation and polarisation of British politics, which makes the country less governable,” Travers explained. “Moreover, if the SNP wins in Scotland and Plaid Cymru in Wales and Reform has the expected success in England there will be three strong nationalist parties in three of the four UK nations, an unprecedented situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Scotland, the Scottish National Party (SNP), in power for almost twenty years, should be able to gather…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":943154,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5018,3,4],"tags":[748,393,4884,1144,712,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-943153","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-britain","8":"category-uk","9":"category-united-kingdom","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-northern-ireland","14":"tag-scotland","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116531716983153419","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=943153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/943154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=943153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=943153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=943153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
