The latest Barn Cymru poll suggests the leader of Wales Green Party, Anthony Slaughter, could end up with the casting vote after next May’s elections to the Senedd. The poll also suggests a further collapse in Labour’s support, registering just 14%, and 11 out of 96 seats, with Plaid Cymru on 38 seats.
Anthony Slaughter, who is predicted to win the new Caerdydd Penarth seat, said:
“This poll shows what we’re hearing on the ground, that Labour are in a total collapse and voters are looking for real change, after the lies Keir Starmer told them last year.
“Last month, we saw a taste of this where Greens won a council by-election in Labour’s former heartland of Grangetown.”
According to a calculator built by academic experts, a 2% swing to the Greens could see the party win 3 seats, and hold the balance of power.
Slaughter continued: “A clear majority of Welsh voters don’t want Reform running Wales. The new proportional voting system means people can vote for what they believe in, not for the least worst option.
“By giving Greens the casting vote in the Senedd, voters can rely on us to make fixing the cost of living our number one priority.”
