Must be an election coming up in Cymru. Labour's Eluned Morgan at the Haverfordwest v Briton Ferry football game today. She was not bothered about the football, too busy trying to make herself known, and was not to be seen after half time! #seneddelection

3. Voter behaviour is more fluid but still structured: There is more switching between parties, but largely within ideological blocs, not between them.

2. Small changes have big consequences: A 2–3% swing can move a party from second to fourth place, or reshape entire electoral races.

So why does everything feel so volatile?

1. We’re no longer in a two-party system: The UK is now operating in a fragmented five-party landscape where even small shifts can dramatically reshuffle rankings.

🧵 1/6

Despite a relentless news cycle of reshuffles, defections & dramatic headlines, polling since the 2025 local elections shows remarkably little overall movement. The big parties are broadly where they were & Reform has maintained a consistent lead.

‘Unprecedented territory’: are UK polls as volatile as they seem? – in charts In what is beginning to look like a fragmented five-party system, small swings carry outsized political consequences

UK politics might feel chaotic right now but the data tells a more stable (& more interesting) story.

When audiences depend heavily on UK-wide news sources, accurately identifying which government is responsible for a policy area becomes essential for ensuring voters can make informed decisions.

🧵 5/6

When respondents were shown examples of news stories and social media posts, many assumed issues applied across the UK when they related only to England or to devolved governments.

#Senedd #Seneddelection #devolvedissues

🧵 4/6

The study links these knowledge gaps to Wales’s information environment. Many people rely primarily on UK-wide news outlets, where Welsh politics often receives limited coverage & do not always clearly distinguish between devolved & UK-wide policy responsibilities.

#Senedd #Seneddelection

🧵 3/6

Another striking finding concerns the new voting system for the 2026 Senedd election. Only 7% of respondents correctly identified the Closed List system, while a majority said they simply did not know.

The research also points to low recognition of Welsh political leaders. While Welsh Labour leader Eluned Morgan was recognised by a majority of respondents, awareness of other party leaders was much lower.

#Senedd #Seneddelection #devolvedissues

🧵 1/6

The findings reveal widespread confusion about who is responsible for key policy areas.

Even in higher-profile areas such as health, education & transport, around a third of people were either incorrect or unsure.

For some parties, opposing it signals individual freedom & “common sense” against perceived paternalism. For others, it represents collective wellbeing, prevention & the role of government in protecting communities.
