Wales is set to hold Senedd elections in May, with Labour's dominance under threat. Polls suggest Plaid Cymru is in first place with 33%, followed by Reform UK with 27%. Labour is down to 13%. Plaid Cymru may need to rely on support from opposition parties to pass laws. The Green Party could be a key player, with polls indicating they could hold 10 seats. The party's leader, Anthony Slaughter, says they will hold the balance of power in the Senedd. Plaid Cymru and the Greens share common ground, but may disagree on issues like net zero pledges. Reform UK is confident they can win the popular vote, but their path to first minister looks tricky.
