I'm a bit jealous that James has got a special studio and I'm making do here with the Cardiff Newsroom.
Feels like we're just on a team's call with you.
I couldn't even get the newsroom camera this evening.
Yes, it's all up in the air in Wales.
It's the first time that we've had a system like this.
So we've really got very little to compare it to in terms of baselines because everything's different.
We've got a new voting system, which is more proportional than first past the post, but not totally proportional.
There are only 16 constituencies now, but they are big and they will elect six MSs each, which means we'll also have a bigger Senedd after Thursday when the new MSs are voted in.
And we'll have 96 new MSs instead of the old number, which was 60.
So virtually everything is different about this election.
Well, I think James is bang on about cost of living being the single biggest issue in this campaign.
But just to refer back to what Chris and Laura were saying, Adam, you know, Keir Starmer is a big figure in the Senedd election campaign, undoubtedly.
current First Minister and Welsh Labour leader, is constantly being asked about him.
Only today she was asked whether he would have to resign on Friday if there was a bad set of election results.
And she said, look, I'm focusing on getting the vote out tomorrow.
I'm not prepared to speculate about what might happen on Friday.
