Apparently it's going to cost us an extra £1.2 million to prepare the Senedd for the increased number of members.
Value for money? |  | | |  |

Farage is simply using Wales.
That said the position of opposition is vacant in Wales.
Tories never do well.
Progressive vote split between Labour, Pkaid, Libs, and Greens.
Therefore Farage has a real chance to take second place.
In fact, i think its likely to happen.
Labour lack the leadership to crush Farage. |
You have a strange definition of not doing well. The Conservatives got more votes and seats than PC, Liberals and the greens combined. Even labour only managed 39% of the vote. 60% of Wales voted for other parties but still got labour in charge of the Senedd due to voted being given to children and the rigged proportional voting system. | |

Farage currently is the only option to give the Senedd the kick it needs. |
The next 18 months will be interesting for politics in Wales for sure, will Labour continue on the path of self destruction ( one can only hope) or will it reign in some of its asinine policies just to retain a modicum of power .IMO Reform will certainly become more relevant as time moves on toward 2026. | |

You persist in posting the same old guff, Tories never do well, which is quite obviously untrue.
I have no time for the Tories, but have to accept they are the 2nd largest party in Wales |  |

We need them more than some 3rd rate local councillor from Gilfach Goch , shameful that some sheep still vote Welsh labour even after 25 years of economic, health, education and a myriad of other social care needs which have been allowed to fall into such disrepair. | |

The Essex Brexiters chased away 1000s of Welsh jobs. Not needed here. They are proud English men that should run things in England . | |

Do you think that the 25 years that Wales has been devolved has been beneficial for the whole of Wales.
Second question do you think Resolven is more prosperous with better health and job prospects than 25 years ago. | | | |

I do not live in Resolven anymore so I cannot comment on that. Any job losses would be related to "Globalisation" rather than devolution. Their relates to the whole of Wales. Global forces seeing jobs migrate to areas of cheaper wage costs Brexit has made inward investment much harder.
The Brexit promises were made by the Reform people and Farage based mainly in south east England. It is not working in Wales s interests. Brexit showed us Welsh voters were prepared to gamble on jam tomorrow. A foolish punt
That is the economic stuff. The Senedd for me is a more emotional attachment. I want Welsh people to be more independent and strong and create wealth locally and not be seen as those living on English subsidies. We need to control our own assets.
Reform is not committed to abolishing the Senedd as far as I know. The Essex boys need to be shown no love on our patch. [Post edited 12 Nov 21:46]

You do know devolution happened well before brexit so.....
OOh, the Senedd again, they control most Welsh assets, they make decisions like NOT uograding the M4 which is costing Wales jobs, slowing our economy, making us poorer. Do you understand that?
Welsh infrastructure was creaking when devolution happened and it's only gotten worse these last 25 years.
An emotional attachment is fine when it;s a good dog or a football team but supporting an institution that is making our country much worse off and not holding them to account is just plain silly.
Farage, he can get lost, he has no live for Wales. He's just a political gobshite who likes to make big claims and emit hyperbolic soundbites. Refprm, what are their policies for Wales? Does anybody know? | | | |

Brexit has crippled Wales and the Senedd was telling Welsh people this. Ineos was ready to sign up for the Bridgend site and 1000s of jobs for steelworker due to be made unemployed.
They were not concerned too much by the M4. They U turned soon after Brexit and moved to France. Brexit supporter have no one else to blame other than the Senedd. There was no golden uplands as promised it was a myth.
Devolution coincided with the second Severn Crossing. The Westminster government declined to compensate Wales with HS 2 moneys given to Scotland.
Self respect and local pride is vital to social development and should not be underrated. Welsh youngster need to get to work and have pride in themselves. This will give confidence to set up businesses. We cannot rely on outsiders. | |

You must have missed the statement made by the owner of Ineos Sir Jim Ratcliffe who loudly proclaimed the benefits of leaving the EU. Ineos screwed the Welsh government as have many other companies who when the grant money ran out also did a runner . Sir Jim said: "Hambach presented us with a unique opportunity that we simply could not ignore: to buy a modern automotive manufacturing facility with a world-class workforce.
"Ineos Automotive set out a vision to build the world's best utilitarian 4x4, and at our new home in Hambach, we will do just that." I wonder just how much of taxpayers money was recouped by the WAG after yet another failure. | |

Jim was coming to Bridgend until Brexit happened. Jim was a Brexiteer and does whats best for Jim not for south Wales.
Bridgend were screwed not by Jim but by the voters of NPT who voted with good old Jim. It was terrible.
I am not sure what point you are making. Like Jim you enjoy putting the boot in on your own. If fits with the "we know what we are chants" and the pathetic SCST who's biggest beneficiary were lawyers from London.
I do not do self harm that is for dysfunctional people who end up in the gutter. The Ineos site was taken over by an American computer data bank firm creating 50 jobs. | |

The senedd and the Welsh Assembly were failing Wales for 20 years before Brexit. Despite all the extra funding the Welsh government receives things continue to get worse for Wales. Labour's only plans seemed to be to increase the Senedd size and make elections to the Senedd undemocratic. You will no longer be able to vote for individual members or get rid of failure like Drakeford and Gething. Instead members will be imposed on you from the "list". We already have too many small councils. Having a senedd of over 90 makes no sense just more wasted money. | |

I do not bleat. The steelworker thrown out of work at PT bleat. They accept sympathy that there are no jobs for them now at Ineos which the Senedd laid on for them.
You get what you voted for and that is unemployment. They were warned as we're all the service business that supported the steelworks. | |

In 2006 there was a global economic crisis which led to a major recession. You are comparing a natural cyclical financial crisis 2006 with a man made crisis voted for by the people of NPT and Bridgend. They ignored their local representation and went with a section of the Tory party.
The people that promoted this disaster for Wales by blaming the Senedd. There is no surprise there. Admittedly they gave made themselves an easy target by enacting highly unpopular laws. [Post edited 14 Nov 19:55]

It is 25 years ago. Globalization was on the march. The Welsh government was formed in may of that year and the second Severn bridge had been recently completed. Factories open and close.
Welsh people took a punt and put free trade with Europe at risk for little local benefit rejecting the recommendations of local MP s and the Senedd. They now have to live with the consequences. | |
