Shock Caerphilly By-Election Result

from For Wales, See Wales · host Will Hayward, Melanie Owen, Robin Morgan

Ring the alarm - an emergency pod has dropped!Will, Robin and Mel react to the shock Caerphilly by-election result which saw Plaid Cymru take the Senedd seat from Labour for the first time in Senedd history.The trio discuss how Plaid Cymru dealt Welsh Labour such a historic defeat, and why Reform’s best efforts just weren’t enough.Fresh from the overnight count, a very tired Will Hayward demonstrates how the vote share was split between left and right leaning voters, whilst Robin and Mel discuss what this could mean for the Senedd elections come May.About FWSW100 years ago if you had picked up the Encyclopaedia Britannica and looked up “Wales” you would have seen four words - ‘For Wales, see England.’ This implied that Wales was no different to England. Not worthy of its own description. Second fiddle. Frankly, it implied that Wales was simply less of a country. That is why we have launched our podcast: For Wales, See Wales.It is a weekly look at Welsh politics looking at the issues that matter to people here.There are so many people who are passionately Welsh, who care about Wales and want to better understand what is happening here. The more informed people are on Welsh issues, the more they are able to hold politicians and decision makers to account for the things that affect their lives. Just as importantly, we want to have a good laugh talking and learning about the country we love.Plus we have some great merchandise which you can buy here: https://for-wales-see-wales.teemill.com/Get in touch at [email protected] Wales, See Wales is a HayMan Media Productionhttps://www.haymanmedia.co.uk/
