It's very, very hopeful.

So despite all of those challenges, the word hope has been used countless, countless times by all of the new cabinet.

They are deliberately positive, deliberately upbeat.

And one of the reasons for that, I think, is that they say behind the scenes that they have learned...

from what they see as the mistake of the incoming Starmer government in 2024, when the prime minister, the chancellor spent a lot of time telling us how terrible everything was.

And Plaid certainly feels that that was a mistake.

It's a mistake that they are determined not to repeat.

So we've had very, very upbeat messaging.

Things haven't really started yet.

It's been a couple of weeks where they have to do things like swear everybody in, vote in the Llywyd, who's the presiding officer, the equivalent of the Speaker in the House of Commons.

They have to get the business committee set up.

They haven't yet allocated who's going to sit on which committees and all that sort of stuff.

And now they're breaking for half term.

So really...

I know.

So nothing, you know, the train hasn't really left the station yet, if you like, but that is the flavour that they want to give people, that this is something where they can make good changes and where they feel that they will be able to make a difference.

We'll have to see whether they're right.

The maths of this is really interesting.

So they got 43 seats and they needed 49 for a majority.

The Greens got two seats.
