Default Wales : Vaughan Gething is elected (has lost a vote of no confidence as leader)




[As Mr Gething was elected, he took time
to praise his predecessor and competitor.

He thanked Mr Drakeford for his role
in making Wales feel 'safer' at
the 'hardest of times',
and said he hoped he would remain
'firm friends' with Mr Miles
'once the dust has settled'.
Mr Gething added that Mr Miles' campaigning,
'the story that you have told,
the example that you have set',
had set new precedent for the
future of Welsh politics.

The leadership race has not been
without controversy, most of which
has centred on Mr Gething.]

How long has he lived here for?

Because for example, if he has lived here since he was a little kid, and went through our School Education System etc, then in my eyes he is British.

Great choice.
His dad is Welsh (the name sort of gives it away) and his mother is Zambian.
He has lived in Wales since he was 2 years old and is very much a Welshman.

we live in a multi cultural society LT, it's been that way your entire life.

All politicians these days are complete idiots, it doesn't matter what race or colour they are, the only common element is that they are all idiots

I dont live in a multicultural society

97 out of 100 people in Scotland are white

I rarely see a colour face as I go about my week

its 90 from 100 in Wales so hardly multicultural there either

Northern Ireland is 97/100

We’ve been visiting a north Manchester hospital for a few weeks and the only white faces are on the guys pushing trolleys around the corridors.
All the specialists, doctors , nurses and ward assistants are non white

Bloody good job they are here though !!

So it's a non-issue story imo.

Oh, and thanks for the answer, as I really didn't know much about this guy until this thread was made.

Tbf, as someone that does see your point when it comes to forced diversity.

Are we really going to pretend that the white, high-up Politicians aren't out of their depth as well? Being brutally honest, we're in a bad generation of Politicians in the UK, regardless of which party or race you look at.

It was a non-story anyway, people don’t care that he wasn’t born here, if they cared about that Boris wouldn’t have been prime minister, they care because he’s black
