We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

Yeah, although I would counter that in Wales, we have nearly always had coalitions.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

So when the media talk about that, like, oh, what's going to happen?

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

And that was used, I think that was a mistake the reform made.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

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.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

But I do think it's very interesting that Plaid Cymru has always had a very strong stalwart base

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

And now it's got a new messaging.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

It's sort of left behind some of the older tropes that were associated with it.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

And it's got much broader appeal now.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

It's really interesting.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

Yes, yeah.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

But it's that thing where his defence is like, listen, I was just being paid to say that.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

I don't think that's better.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

that you're kind of like denigrating the Welsh language or, you know, being flippant about it.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

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.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

And reform have been, they keep bouncing back on it.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

The leader, Dan Thomas, says, oh, no, we're going to keep that.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

And Farage is like, well, no, I think we'll get rid of that.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

So the preservation of the Welsh language is not that important to Nigel Farage anyway.

Strong Message Here
We Can't Go On Like This (with Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Ayesha Hazarika)

So then that clouds the whole, you know, joke cameo.

Do you know what?
