Elections and Evolution in Welsh Politics

This chapter examines the upcoming elections for the Welsh Parliament (Senedd) and the shifts in political dynamics since the last elections in 2021, particularly due to COVID-19. It discusses the changes in the electoral system, including the shift to proportional representation and an increase in representatives, and explores how this may impact traditional voting patterns and the governance of Wales. Additionally, the chapter addresses the economic relationship between Wales and England, the challenges arising from dependency on English funding, and recent political promises aimed at reviving local industries.
