Plaid Cymru wants to run minority Welsh government, leader says
Rhun ap Iorwerth confirms he will try to govern alone after his party’s Senedd election triumph.
Rhun ap Iorwerth confirms he will try to govern alone after his party’s Senedd election triumph.
Interesting that Rhun ap Iorwerth thinks he can go it alone after winning 28 seats — that’s still 32 short of a majority. Minority government sounds shaky.
About time we had a Welsh-focused government. Labour’s been taking us for granted for decades. Let’s see what Plaid can do with health and education.
First minister hopeful but can he really deliver without a coalition? The Senedd’s proportional system means he’ll need deals on every vote.
I’m worried about the economic plans. Plaid’s big on public spending but where’s the money coming from with only 28 seats and no majority?
At least he’s willing to take responsibility rather than hiding behind a coalition. Respect for trying to lead with principle, even if it’s risky.
Six seats gain is impressive but far from a landslide. Let’s see if they can actually get things done on the ground in the valleys.
