We're going to be recording our next set of pods soon and will be doing a Q & A pod with audience questions.

If you have a question about Welsh politics for @Lauren McEvatt, @lauramcallister30.bsky.social , and Lee Waters, send it over!

A snap election on the old voting system AND 60 members?

With Welsh Government unable to pass its budget, is a snap election the answer? Could four more years on the old system of 60 members tempt Labour and the Conservatives to do a deal? #senedd26 #Cymru #Wales @lauramcallister30.bsky.social

With so little time between now and #Senedd26, there's very little of substance the UK Labour Party could do to change the context for Welsh Labour's campaign next Spring. So, learning from Harold Wilson, should he consider replacing a Welsh Secretary considered to be unpopular? #Wales #Cymru

Will things change if we have a Welsh Govt led by Plaid Cymru or Reform UK?

In our latest pod we discuss what would change in the relationship between national and union governments following the 2026 election if Labour isn't leading the one in Wales.

Why is Wales's voice in the union so weak?
Lauren thinks that Wales would leave the United Kingdom before Scotland, Lee outlines why Wales has no leverage over funding decisions inside the UK Treasury. All part of the discussions in our latest pod! 1/2 #cymru #wales #senedd26

Is Whitehall pushing Wales towards nationalism? We discuss the working/not working relationship between Welsh and UK Governments in our latest pod with @lauramcallister30.bsky.social Lauren McEvatt and Lee Waters MS

Former First Minister Mark Drakeford believes the new voting system that his government introduced for the Welsh Parliament 'guarantees' a progressive government after May's election. Here he explains why: #Senedd26 #Cymru #Wales

Ahead of our next episode about candidate selection, this clip from the Fifth Floor / @walesgovernance.bsky.social event about the beneath-the-surface workings of Welsh Government features former Education Minister Kirsty Williams questioning whether the right people can, and do, enter politics:

Penodau newydd ar y ffordd - New episodes on the way soon!

Where did the Senedd's closed list system come from? Lauren McEvatt and @lauramcallister30.bsky.social ask Lee Waters MS to explain why the Labour Party proposed a system that nobody seems to really want.

#Wales #Cymru #Senedd26

Our next pod takes apart the Senedd reform package which sees expansion to 96 members and a new - and universally unpopular - voting system.

So why are the Welsh Conservatives talking about numbers? Lauren, Lee and @lauramcallister30.bsky.social have different takes! #Senedd26 #Cymru #Wales

Will the 'Grand Coalition' win, whoever loses in the Welsh Parliament eleciton?

If Labour's slump in the polls is translates to votes and Reform continue to be the insurgent party, who could form a government? #Senedd26 #Wales #Cymru
