Yeah, although I would counter that in Wales, we have nearly always had coalitions.
So when the media talk about that, like, oh, what's going to happen?
And that was used, I think that was a mistake the reform made.
They were like, it'll just be Plaid and Labour again, but we aren't really frightened of coalitions in the way that Westminster is or is able to use.
But I do think it's very interesting that Plaid Cymru has always had a very strong stalwart base
And now it's got a new messaging.
It's sort of left behind some of the older tropes that were associated with it.
And it's got much broader appeal now.
It's really interesting.
Yes, yeah.
But it's that thing where his defence is like, listen, I was just being paid to say that.
I don't think that's better.
that you're kind of like denigrating the Welsh language or, you know, being flippant about it.
But I mean, the problem is, is that it's backed up in their policy as well, is that there's the target in Wales for a million Welsh speakers by 2030.
And reform have been, they keep bouncing back on it.
The leader, Dan Thomas, says, oh, no, we're going to keep that.
And Farage is like, well, no, I think we'll get rid of that.
So the preservation of the Welsh language is not that important to Nigel Farage anyway.
So then that clouds the whole, you know, joke cameo.
Do you know what?
