Welsh Politics Q & A - Federalism, Plaid Cymru and the SNP

Dec 31, 2025
20 mins

Episode Description

We wrap up our series of Q & A pods with a question about why the UK can't be a 'normal' European country with rules and structures underpinning its different levels and territories of government. It's complicated!

Also, we close with a discussion of the potential risks of Plaid Cymru being too closely aligned to the SNP as both parties appear set to lead respective national governments after May 2026.
