How do you see it ending up? Personally can see labour loosing quite a few votes to plaid not enough to make a significant difference though. Can see the tories doing better than expected but abolish taking votes off them. Odds on labour plaid coalition. Constituency changes can't see many. Plaid to take llanelli and maybe Carmarthen west and south pembs with outside chance Caerphilly, Cardiff west Tories to take Bridgend and maybe one or two up north east Wales. Labour not to win any new seats
Latest polls contine to show labour are losing votes with Conservatives, Plaid and AWA gaining votes. Even Drakeford is behind in his own seat.
Wales is clearly tired with labour's failed policies which have seen standards fall in education, health.
Wales needs modern progressive policies to boost industry, infrastructure including M4 update. Wales also needs policies to boost it's major industry tourism rather than policies designed to drive tourists away
Immigration into Wales have skewed voting patterns, but I wonder if some are starting to see the light.

Most house sales in this area over the last few years seem to be to people from the south of England. They sell up and buy cheap in this lovely area. Youngsters can't afford the houses these days.
Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Exactly the same in my area.
Continually being banned by Planet Swans for Porthcawl and then being reinstated.
They have been flooding in from the other side of the dyke over that time period and they vote tends to lean the way they voted the other side of the dyke before coming here, hope their offspring that has been educated in Wales when they start voting see things differently.

Perhaps labour could have built some affordable houses or even council houses over the last 20 years for locals.
Every Welsh person should be free to vote the way they want without fear of abuse from small minded xenophobes or toxic nationalists.
The key here is every person living in Wales and registered to vote. What people are forgetting is many of these are not necessary Welsh born and bred, so will have no interest in Plaid, Welsh Labour or Welsh Conservatives. They will vote for what is best for them.

Apart from allowing 16 year olds to vote, here are a few other sneaky changes to the voting system Drakeford has introduced.
Allow each council to decide for itself which voting system to use — First Past the Post (FPTP) or Single Transferable Vote (STV); STV is considered to be a system of ‘proportional representation’ make it easier for people to be included on the electoral register, by giving Electoral Registration Officers the power to automatically add people to the register, without the need for them to apply enable the piloting of reforms to local government elections after 2022, such as holding elections on different days and having polling stations in different places local government will move to fixed five-year terms between elections give all foreign citizens lawfully living in Wales the opportunity to vote in and stand in local elections, irrespective of their nationality

That was a strategy/manifesto by Labour during the last general election. Create a new voter surge... Biden is doing it in America right now, a case of encourage a (catastrophic!) population boom, import/manufacture an electoral advantage and vote share.
Sad thing is these people have arrived, have no housing/service provision to go to and are living in appalling conditions. Immigration is great when controlled,sensible and in right number but creating absolute human misery just to virtue signal and to increase electoral chances is an obcene thing to do.

yes but someone reckons its purely down to the "greedy sellers"

Yeah in pockets, Haverfordwest, Tenby etc, some parts of the North that aren’t too far from the North West of England. The overwhelming majority of people living in Wales aren’t retirees from Surrey. If they were, Labour wouldn’t landslide every election.
The ones that do come here don’t tend to buy average houses, they buy big and pay massive land transaction tax for the privilege.
Wales won’t progress with your ‘other side of the dyke’ xenophobic mentality.

They used that excuse with the Brexit vote. I pointed out if little englanders tipped the vote to leave then how com places like rct and Merthyr voted leave? How did Monmouth voted stay?
I’ve yet to see a credible answer, the idea that wales turning more ‘Tory’ being a result of the English moving here sounds to me like they’re getting their excuses in early.
Flooding in. Hmm,remember Enoch using those words. Tramp is pure racist Keith and should be warned or banned. If that had been people of colour or indeed Irish/Pakistani/Chinese/Jamaican he was refering to,then we'd see a reaction.
