As electoral reality dawns are the parties ready to govern?
It’s all getting very real for the parties, just days away from the 2026 Welsh Parliament election. The landscape doesn’t seem to have changed much, if polls are accurate reflections of how people across the country will vote on Thursday. Plaid and Reform continue to jostle to lead the next government or lead the opposition - we discuss who really wants to do what. And elsewhere, is there a sense of crisis around the Labour Party as reality dawns on campaigners that the bleak UK-wide picture is potentially going to put the party in a distant third - or fourth - in Wales? What does that mean for the 'most successful party in the democratic world', Welsh Labour? Is the Green surge going to push them closer to governing with Plaid? Will the Conservatives have to change leader again? And will we see even one Liberal Democrat in the next parliament? We discuss it all! #Senedd26 #Wales #Cymru Your hosts: Prof Laura McAllister of the Wales Governance Centre at Cardiff University, former national football team captain and Vice President at UEFA Lauren McEvatt, political commentator and former Conservative Special Advisor to the Wales Office in UK Govt Lee Waters, former Labour Party Member of the Senedd for Llanelli and former Welsh Govt Minister Find us on the socials: YouTube: www.youtube.com/@WelshPoliticsPod TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@welshpolitics Instagram: www.instagram.com/welshpoliticspod/ X: www.x.com/WelshPolitics99 BlueSky: www.bsky.app/profile/welshpolitics.bsky.social Web: www.welsh-politics.com Produced by Richard Martin for Mimosa Cymru Artwork by Alison Hurren Music: Where Is It Instrumental by Jonworthymusic Press/Media queries to podcast@welsh-poilitics.com
