The campaign was initially Tdominated by UK-wide issues like reaction to the Tata Steel crisis and party leadership rows in London. Then, almost at its last gasp, attention turned politics back to the policy areas where our elected representatives might actually make a difference. When the results eventually came in it looked as if nothing much had actually changed despite the sound and fury EXCHANGE gets exciting of campaigning and several years of speculation about future governments and their complexion. Welsh Labour again emerged as the largest party but, with 29 seats was short of a majority. Every other party did worse than they would have hoped but to differing Bevan Foundation extents. The exception was UKIP, for whom the election campaign was always a complete irrelevance as, 2 nomination for First Minister for Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones, we began to hear that Plaid Cymru was planning to nominate its own leader, Leanne Wood.

Rather than the simple confirmation of a single occurred in the political parties or, if it has, no-one has 3 In George Orwell’s words: “The slovenliness of our ‘language‘ makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.” thought to share its take with each other. As several of us commented after the One Wales Coalition agreement between Labour and Plaid in 2007, there was scant recognition that the deal meant that nothing in Welsh politics would be the same again. However, a much improved result for Labour in the 2011 election, coupled with a divided and fractious set of opposition parties seemingly incapable of mounting a strategic challenge within or without the Assembly chamber, miraculously wiped organisational memories and, as if by magic, the political equilibrium was restored. So, by 2016 normal service was to be resumed: the largest dominant party in charge, parent-child relationships to be continued. But from Plaid Cymru's perspective, this was Plaid government, although it could, in theory, have not on. Now relationships between the leaders of the worked with deals struck with all the other parties on a two biggest parties have been imperfect for some case by case basis. time.

  • No More Lockdowns in Wales
    Wales Elects SENEDD ELECTIONS – MAY 6th 2021 No more lockdowns in Wales If Wales has another full-scale national lockdown, it will be a huge policy failure by politicians THE DEFAULT POSITION of many countries over the past year when there has been a rise in Covid-19 cases has been to lockdown the entire nation. Back in March 2020, when we had the first UK lockdown, choosing this path had some logic. The virus was spreading, and we had little information about who was at risk. Countries went into lockdown one by one, and it was an easy option to follow the crowd rather than stand out on our own against it. A year on and with such rich data on the population After 22 years and the effect of Covid-19 we believe that following the same path in the future would be madness. of Welsh Labour Nathan Gill, Leader of Reform UK, Wales rule, it is time to reform Wales DEMOCRATIC accountability and bringing democracy closer to the people was the raison d’être for The Brexit Party, which very much So what have we learned? remains the case for Reform Let’s start with the worst-case scenario of deaths.

The need for a new motorway around Newport is overwhelming with the congestion around the Brynglas Tunnels negatively impacting on businesses and people from across South Wales. The first proposal for a relief road was published in 1991, almost 30 years ago. Although the failure to take action over three decades isn’t solely to blame, we believe it hasn’t helped the economic well-being of the current generation and has contributed towards: . The employment rate in Wales being an average of over 3% lower than the UK employment rate since the mid-1990s. The Welsh GVA per head being consistently lower than 75% of the UK average since the late-1990s with most recent figures showing that Cardiff’s GVA per head is the lowest 1 of the four UK capital cities. The Welsh Government’s analysis from March 2016 finds that a new M4 around Newport will improve connectivity within South Wales and with the rest of the UK which will: .

    South Glamorgan County Council Election Results 1973-1993 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

  • The European Elections and Brexit Foreword
    The European Elections and Brexit Foreword There is a certain irony that the upcoming set of European elections will be the most scrutinized, most keenly watched and most thoroughly dissected ever in the UK. It remains far from certain any of those elected will ever make the journey on the Eurostar from St Pancras to Brussels as members of the European Parliament. However, these elections are undoubtedly significant: for the EU as a whole, and for Brexit and the future of British politics. This report represents our attempt to explain why and to spell out for those interested what to look out for when the elections take place. In what follows, we bring together some of the best minds working on Brexit and the EU. The report is intended as a guide to the vote later this month, rather than an attempt to predict the outcome of an inherently unpredictable set of elections. I believe it makes an original and timely contribution and I hope you find it both useful and interesting. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Sara Hobolt in putting this report together. Special thanks to the ever patient, creative, understanding and brilliant Richard Linnett. Matt Bevington, Liam Hill, Alan Wager and John-Paul Salter all proofed and checked the various contributions.
