No politician is going to get everything right, but people’s frustration is growing with politicians pretending to never be wrong.
Reform supports the expansion of the Senedd from 60 to 96 members at a cost of £120m. On this they are on the same page as Labour, Plaid, the Lib Dems, and the Greens. Only the Welsh Conservatives have opposed this expansion from the start and want to reverse it.
Even if in the worst case scenario, you come last, you will still gain an invaluable experience, and you will still ensure that the people of Britain have a choice in their elections.
Plaid is not some mainstream, Welsh choice. They are a radical, leftist party whose core belief is that every input and every outcome must move Wales closer to independence. They do not share the public’s priorities.
A minimum wage can work perfectly well in markets – but for it to work we need to actually use markets. A real pay disparity that anyone can see is plainly unsustainable.
If voters are ready to give the Conservative leader a hearing it is because no one else is better able to articulate the country’s contempt for this disgrace of a government. This being our most powerful weapon, it makes perfect sense to deploy it at every opportunity.
A year and a half of incompetence and directionless government under Sir Keir Starmer and the sudden rise of Reform has meant coming first in the Senedd election is no longer a guarantee for Labour.
Welsh Labour has deprioritised essential delivery for un-needed ‘nice to have’ spending because it is in hock to intellectually moribund backbenchers and devolved parties, completely unsound philosophies, imagined priorities, and “progressive” vested interests.
If the SNP and PC are successful next May, we will experience the most comprehensive and sustained attack on the UK we have seen since devolution began
The Conservatives are responding after our general election loss by listening and acting on people’s concerns. Labour should try doing it before they lose power in May.
One of the most interesting things to come out of Caerphilly is that they had a far higher turnout than usual for a by-election – at 50.4 per cent. It is telling that the rise of Reform is clearly bringing out more voters, both those who want to back the party and those who want to vote against it.
Nationalists thrive on grievance. Labour thrives on excuses. Conservatives must thrive on competence, accountability, and delivery.
A larger Senedd will lead to more conflict with UK governments. While greater party patronage strengthens the devocracy.
Without us Conservatives Wales will be overrun by an unrepentant and unrestricted political elite who will continue to perpetuate the lie that devolution has worked for Wales.
We’re offering a fully costed and authentically conservative manifesto. After 27 years of falling standards and economic decline under Labour, this is an offer of a better future: lower taxes, better public services, and a growing economy.
