Scraping the barrel here, you really are desperate. Which, to be fair, must be a good sign?

Up to Welsh Labour and their devolved parliament. No real relevance to me. If I was welsh I might be interested....are you welsh?

I might be, I might not. Has nothing to do with it.

Glad you take interest in that though.

It's certainly important if you're Welsh.

It's not important or relevant to anyone else

Again, I'm not sure how to word this any better.

It IS important to me.

I think it's pretty important to the Welsh actually. Even the BBC describe it as "Starmer's" first crisis.

Sure. I'm sure Trump getting shot is important to some. Just not me. Maybe I am not reading the room correctly, anyone else on this thread interesting in the Welsh assembly enough to give a toss about this? Has the WA ever been mentioned on this site before?

How did they describe it when the Welsh government lost a vote of no confidence before the General Election? Do you think it lost Starmer a lot of votes?

Yes.

Something I've suddenly decided I do care about, is that it's the Welsh Parliament in English. The name changed from Welsh Assembly a few years ago.

I only know that because I was reading about the voting systems used in the devolved parliaments/assemblies around the time of the general election. Funnily enough, nobody's been daft enough to set up a parliament from scratch in this country with FPTP.

Next you'll be telling me that the Top Division of English Football is no longer the Premiership.

Unfortunately, many folk don't want to change.

 

[nevergoagain]

No.

Well, you say that but Wales is looking a bit iffy.
