Big political shake-up in Wales! 🌿 Two prominent councillors, Robert James and Sean Morgan, have jumped ship and joined the Green Party. Both have expressed dissatisfaction with their former party, citing a disconnect with the values of ordinary people and unmet election promises. Cllr Morgan, once the leader of Caerphilly council, was outspoken about his decision to leave, citing serious ethical concerns. Meanwhile, Cllr James, former opposition leader in Carmarthenshire, highlighted the Green Party’s focus on tackling inequality and environmental issues as a major draw.
With these defections, the Green Party now has a presence on nearly half of Wales’ councils. This is a promising sign for the upcoming elections, with Welsh Green leader Anthony Slaughter optimistic about gaining seats in the Senedd. Could this be the start of a new political wave in Wales? Time will tell! 🌍 💚 #WelshPolitics #GreenWave #Carmarthenshire #Caerphilly
