📢 Attention Caerphilly! Your upcoming by-election on October 23rd is more important than you might think – it could affect the entire nation! 🗳️
Mark Drakeford has highlighted that the decision you make won’t just impact local issues, but could shape the future of Wales as a whole. With the recent passing of Labour’s Hefin David, the balance of power is in your hands.
If Labour loses Caerphilly, it could lead to struggles in passing the Welsh Government’s budget. This is crucial as the budget affects vital services across Wales. For Labour, securing this seat is key to maintaining support in the Senedd and avoiding potential budgetary chaos. Without a passed budget, government funding drops by 25%, affecting everyone in Wales.
With Plaid Cymru and Reform UK feeling confident, the stakes have never been higher. A change could trigger the need for a second vote and spark financial uncertainties. Already, the proposed budget has faced criticism, with local councils concerned about a significant shortfall that could equate to a hefty rise in council tax or hefty job cuts.
As the by-election approaches, remember that your vote is about more than Caerphilly’s immediate future. It’s about the future of Wales. Make your voice heard and consider the broader impact when heading to the polls.
Power to the people of Caerphilly! 🇬🇧💪 #CaerphillyVotes #WalesDecides #YourVoteMatters
