Why Wales can never fix its own problems

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

This episode was a lot of fun. The trio are back in 2026 and are answering some audience questions.How do journalists decide who to vote for? Would any of them ever get into politics? Does the rest of Wales feel about Cardiff how people in Cardiff feel about London? All of these are the delicious starter to the big meaty main course - how can Wales fix its own economic questions. The short answer -  they can’t. The longer answer - it’s complicated.  Wales’ best known politics podcast is back for the biggest year in Welsh politics for decades!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/
