00:00Politics has shifted massively in recent years, populism is on the rise across Europe, and
00:06parties like Reform have found a home in voters who feel they've been left out of the status
00:09quo. And if ever there was a country and political landscape that followed a status quo, Wales
00:15is that country.
00:17Welsh Labour have been the biggest party in the Senedd since it started way back in 1999,
00:21and has been the biggest party in Wales at general elections for close to a century.
00:26Nowhere in the world has there been a political juggernaut like Welsh Labour, but former Transport
00:31Minister Lee Waters fears that could soon come to an end.
00:34In his personal blog, he called out the First Minister, saying she is holding out a hand
00:38to the Prime Minister, rather than standing up for Wales, as he warns that there are grounds
00:43to say that Labour could come third in 2026.
00:46With a new, more proportional voting system in the Senedd for the next elections, and
00:50polls for now calling it a three-horse race between Labour, Plaid Cymru and Reform, the
00:54government will be growing concerned that the status quo could very likely be coming
00:58to an end.
