Drakeford: Left-Wing Alliance to Block Reform UK

0:00On March 28th, Mark Drakeford, the outgoing Welsh First Minister, just dropped a bombshell saying left-wing parties would ban together to block. Reform UK from leading the next Welsh government, even if they snagged the most seats in the Senate election on May 7th. Poles right now show Reform UK neck-and-neck with Plaid Kaimru for the top spot, but nobody's expecting a majority, so deals will be key to get it first. Minister nominee passed the vote. Trump's Welsh leader Dan Thomas fired back, calling it proof that establishment parties will stop at nothing to keep real folks out of power. Drakeford, wrapping up his long run in the Senate this week, argues most Welsh voters lean left anyway, so three-quarters of the new Assembly wouldn't. Backer reform picket just mirrors the people's choice. Labour's sitting third in polls at 13%, amid calls for change after years in charge, and Drakeford owns that uphill battle while eyeing. Now coalitions shake out post-election.
