On April 7th, the Wales Green Party just dropped its manifesto for the Senate election, pushing hard for ring controls to ease the cost of living, squeeze. Leader Antony Slotter laid it out clear, they'd freeze rents for a full year, then hand councils the power to cap what tenants pay moving forward. On top of that, they're calling to cap bus fares at one pound for most folks, with free rides for anyone under 22's. They also want to scrap council tax entirely and replace it with something fairer. Poland Wales are feeling the pain right now, with Slotter pointing to decades of exploitation and 27 years of what he calls managed, decline under Welsh labor. He says folks are hurting, in despair, and angry, and that frustration is fueling some ugly divides. Poles are looking good for the Greens, hinting they could snag their first seats ever in the Senate's history. Even if they don't lead the next government, they're eyeing a spot in negotiations to shape who becomes First Minister. Housing tops their priority list as a potential deal breaker in talks, offering real solutions

to turn lives around and build a fair future for everyone in Wales.
