ANALYSIS

This is a terrible night for the Social Party, who expected a major breakthrough in Lloegr and Alba. Even with their agenda in Dyfed, they lost their largest party status in 2 authorities.

It remains to be seen if this is a one off event, or whether the people of Gwlad Emrys are returning to the pre-crisis party allegiances.

 

The Leader of the Social Party told the Gwlad Emrys Post:

"Of course we would have hoped to have done better. However each area is an individual race. We will continue to fight for local people's issues and will lobby the central government, whoever they will be, to help our local people"
