Oh dear ! The Tories lose 3 seats at Cardiff, and are now in 3rd place behind Plaid Cymru, just a year after winning the General Election !

Who would have thought it was possible ?

To paraphrase a previous Leader of PC.....

" The Tories are about as popular in Wales, as a Rat Sandwich"

Will they never learn ?

[youngmafbog]

Looks like labour are less popular than a rat sandwich in Scotland !

[mikey4444]

Yes, the SNP is in the ascendant, without doubt, something the Tories, as well as Labour discovered in May 2015. They have the bit between the teeth and they won't give up until they get a second Referendum.....not that I am advocating such a thing.

[youngmafbog]

No, indeed they wont.

well mikey at least you are blessed with a Tory MP in Westminster. The Assembly is joke anyway.

Welsh AM's Labour -1 Ukip +7

% of votes;
Labour -7.6
Cons -3.9
Ukip +12.5

Only until 2020 TTT.

Something that the Assembly Elections showed was how Gower had been won back to Labour, in spades. Byron Davies, the present Tory incumbent, is sitting on a ultra-slim majority of just 27, so I suggest that he makes them the most of his temporary career in Westminster !

By the way, the Assembly is by no means a joke, as the Tories are finding out......its all about local democracy. Never again will Wales be ruled by a Party that it didn't elect.

The Tories did badly in Wales last year. And they did badly last week.

Who'd have thought it? Probably everyone.
