Election 2021: Mark Drakeford to form Welsh Labour
government alone
Welsh Labour is looking poised to go it ดาวน์โหลดslotxo alone and form a government
without help from other parties.
Thursday's Senedd election left Labour with 30 seats - one short of an outright majority.
But a senior figure said the party could continue to run the Cardiff government without
a deal signed with opposition politicians.
Labour minister Jeremy Miles said the result allowed them to work with parties on
a "case-by-case basis".
Party leader Mark Drakeford also said Labour has governed successfully on 30 seats
before.
With no significant challenge from the opposition to his position Mr Drakeford is
expected to be reappointed to his job as first minister.
However, he may in future need help from the opposition to pass laws and get Labour's
spending plans through the Welsh Parliament, with one seat short of a majority.
'No monopoly of good ideas'
Mr Drakeford told BBC Wales: "We have demonstrated over a number of governments
that you can govern successfully on 30 seats, but I'm open to working with any party
where there is common ground between us."
"I'm always much more interested in policy agreements that I am in a sort of political
fixing."
He added: "No party has a monopoly of good ideas, and where there are things that
we can work on together, then my administration will certainly look to do that with
anybody who thinks that we can work to the advantage of Wales."
The Welsh government ruled in a minority from 2011 to 2016, striking deals with
the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru at various points to pass budgets. |
