Blair’s Westminster Labour government absolutely did that. Welsh Labour in the Senedd … not so much.

Sunak on TV apologising for leaving the D Day commemorations early, then trying to make out that any further discussion of this decision would be disrespectful to veterans and those that lost their lives because it would be "politicising" the commemorations.

The guy is a total ass.

True obviously but given my natural disdain and suspicion of Tories (even by association) I’d rather take a gamble on things possibly staying the same, potentially getting slightly worse with the current lot than have Tories in and virtually guaranteeing the latter on a grand scale.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but what about the Lib Dems? I can understand why you’d dismiss the plaidos out of hand but there are other alternatives. The problem with just sticking with one party over the very long term is that they get complacent, which tends to make them even worse.

I think Wales is in a bit of a bind, and to be brutally honest I think the underlying problem is that the Senedd and government have got too much legislative/executive power.

Good call about the Lib Dems and yeah you’re right about Plaid. I just prefer to vote for a party with fairly recent and relevant government experience.

Or do what the Remainers did and demand another vote?

Difference being Remainers don’t get another crack 4 or 5 years later.

He's been told that before, but doesn't quite
seem to understand it....

Another referendum on Europe at some point, is a certainty. Problem is we'll get a much worse deal than we had, but have to take it. Beggars can't be choosers.

In both situations, I don't think the result would/will be any different. Do you?

Bit like when he didn't understand what he was voting for in the referendum

It's okay to ignore the will of the people now and thwart their will
