Really pleased that Reform didn't win this.
Politics however is in a dire state at this time.

It's taken a long time but I'd guess easily that Plaid Cymru will now emulate the SNP in Scotland and now finally get to become the leading Party in the Welsh Senedd.

Extremely bad result for Labour, and the Conservatives too.
However this isn't Conservative territory.
Even with near all the former Conservative support though, Reform still couldn't win this one.
I'm pleased that some usual Labour voters put their votes to Plaid Cymru to help beat Reform too.

IF this keeps up until 2028/29.
Then ALL the more anti Reform Parties are going to have to come more together to see off Reform, probably anywhere and everywhere.
IF those anti Reform Parties seriously do NOT want Farage and Reform in power.

yes, people need to get smart in their voting and vote tactically
