Big news, Wales! 🚨 Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, is headed our way this week. He’ll be holding a press conference at the ICC in Newport, revealing his party’s grand “plans for Wales” ahead of the Senedd elections this May.
Reform UK is gearing up to make a splash by fielding candidates in all 16 Welsh constituencies, yet the party has kept us guessing by not announcing their leader or any specific policies just yet. With polls hinting at the possibility of Reform UK winning over 20 seats, this election promises to shake things up!
The latest poll shows the party snagging 23% of the vote, which could mean a significant rise from its current one Senedd member, especially given that the Senedd is expanding from 60 to 96 members. That’s a big leap, even if it’s a bit of a drop from numbers reported last September when Reform UK and Plaid Cymru were neck and neck.
Nigel’s event, scheduled for this Thursday, February 5, isn’t just any gathering—it’s the place for Reform UK members to rally and get pumped for the coming elections! With fewer than 100 days until voting day, this is a prime opportunity to hear directly from Farage about how his party plans to tackle the big political battle with Plaid Cymru.
What’s more, this election is shaping up to be unlike any we’ve seen since powers were first devolved to Wales in 1999. New voting systems, new constituencies, and the aim to elect 96 members make this an exciting political landscape. Not to mention, Labour’s long-standing grip on Welsh politics is being challenged simultaneously from both Reform UK and Plaid Cymru, making this race anyone’s game!
