Why is Reform polarising against Plaid Cymru?

PC need to keep pushing the despicable antisemitic hate speech that Farage indulged in his past and get Farage to apologise for his past misdeeds. This is an open goal.

His tactic comes from the fact that a hard left party has not won a general election in his country for over half a century, but in this country the limited tax raising powers mean it's more possible, especially if it's required to keep out a hard right party with morals and ethics totally contrary to those we have in Cymru.

Because that is where the racist party see their competitor. Has farage apologised for racist comments he claims were not meant to hurt? Has he looked into gill a bit deeper, or does he know what he will find? farage is wrecker. Lied about brexit and will drag Wales back to the dark ages. Spouts racist comments, protects people who spout race hate and tried for two years to get race riots going and has a sweet spot for putin. And now he is in with the far US right religious types who remove women's rights. And this. https://bylinetimes.com/2025/12/02/the-reform-backed-far-right-street-patrols-coming-to-british-school-gates/

Nigel Farage and Reform UK have no interest in Wales. Let's make this perfectly clear. They are foremost an English far-right party who attract those voters happy to sell Wales out. The kind who voted against devolution in 1997. Don't take my word for it. Just look at his actions. As the old saying goes. Actions speak louder than words. He as Reform UK leader is happy to interfere in Welsh politics but like most big mouthed cowards doesn't want himself to run for office by becoming a Senedd member opting to parachute an unelected BritNat bureaucrat like a Russia spy and we all know how much Reform UK are Putin's pushovers. Forget rabble-rousers. More like ruble lovers. Look , next May's Senedd election Wales has a simple choice. Either Plaid Cymru led by Rhun ap Iorweth. A man born and bred in Wales. A Welsh speake. Who leads a party founded on the principle of fighting not only for the survival of Wales and Britain's native language Cymraeg but Wales and Welsh democracy. Or Reform UK and Nigel Farage. An English Imperialist party led by public school educated Conservative leaning Thatcherite with no Welsh ancestry or interest in Wales. A man accused of racism towards black Asian and Jewish people whilst at Dulwich collage in the 1970s & 80s, who admires war criminal , rapist and convicted fellon Donald Trump and admires Russian dictator Vladimir Putin responsible for the murder of over 14,000 Ukrainian civilians with his invasion. Farage refuses to stand for election in Wales , has no base in Wales, or does he have the decency to use Welsh on Reform UK's Senedd election campaign leaflets citing English is the language of common sense therefore his party implies that those who do speak and champion our native language have no sense. An overt slur harking back to the bad old days of the Welsh Not. Anti-Welsh Reform wants also to scrap the aspiration of a million Welsh speakers by 2050. Abolish both the Senedd reinstating Westminster direct rule and our 20 international offices around the world Welsh business, trade, investment, culture, and tourism leaving Wales the only UK nation at the mercy of Whitehall where there are no similar calls to remove the Scottish Parliament , Northern Irish or London Assemblies. Farage also states he wants to reindustrialise Wales by reopening up opencast mines blighting once more our landscape like Ffos Y Fran in Merthyr Tydfil has. Is a climate denier, so would not care about making safe nearly 3000 highly dangerous coal tips teetering above our valleys waiting to cause another Aberfan tragedy. He wants to privatise our beloved Welsh invented National Health Service by inviting American Health providers to control and asset strip. Is this what Wales really wants? Reform UK , a patronising party full of plastic patriots that will fail Wales like both the Tories & Labour have? Put it this way. Here's a sporting analogy. Where Farage wants to turn Wales into a pub side, Rhun ap Iorwerth wants to take us to the Champions League. So I'd rather vote for a manager that wants to take us to the top than one whose a flop.

Aww poor Ady Wady doesnt like the truth spoken about his Russian asset.

Reform are far-right and if you support them then you are also far-right. Clearly from your previous comments you are happy with this and, by extension, Farage's racism and antisemitism.

How many receipts do you want? He defends putin and trump for starters. https://bylinetimes.com/2025/11/24/nigel-farages-project-2029-the-pro-trump-lobbyist-pushing-his-agenda-into-the-uk/

Farage love publicity: drinking beer, having milkshakes thrown at him etc - all adds to his brand profile. On this website a few months back a Scottish Academic critiqued Brexit and questioned if the voters in Middle England lack a cultural identity. Economically the UKs issues are as a result of Westminster’s policies not Welsh / Scottish / Northetn Ireland - all new administrations, Westminster has governed for decades. Westminster has not devolved powers to Wales and is holding on to decision making; but the impact on Londons economy has not been beneficial. They have not kept London as a global financial hub - Astra Zeneca joining New York Stock Exchange suggests Westminster does not have a strong working relationship with Astra Zeneca. If GSK, Vodafone and BT follow Astra Zeneca to New York the UK will have no major Technology or Pharmaceutical organisations in top 100 globally. Perhaps Plaid Cymru should have a manifesto pledge to create a Cymru Stock Exchange in the Ancient Capital of Wales, Machynlleth?

It's all relative isn't it. From their perspective all the way over there on the right-right they'd probably call Thatcher a liberal left wokie because she only denied poor kids milk not oxygen.

Bookies go Even Stevens for Plaid and Reform to get most seats Reform have taken in a staggering £10.3m donations in the 3rd quarter of 2025. That includes a single donation of £9m from Christopher Harborne We are being sold. Its safe to say they will be throwing everything at Wales even though nigh on impossible for them to get a majority over Plaid/ Labour alignment

So Reform is by common consent the "big threat". If that is really the case the other competing parties need to spell out with greater clarity how they propose to lift our country out of its gutter, not just wish lists but "how we do it" lists which would also contrast with Reform's vague offering once you strip out its hate lists. Thus far no party has showed much interest in doing anything other than bawling at each other and howling about the Reform threat. Not at all promising, is it?

If they're the same why don't they merge to become a genuine political force?

Get a sense of perspective. Neither the Greens or Your Party are anything but pretty mainstream social democratic parties, with Your Party perhaps lacking in credibility. Neither are in any measurable way 'hard left' in the way that Reform is not just 'hard right' but crypto-fascist. Nigh on half a century of neoliberal nonsense seems to have addled people's brains to the extent that anything to the left of Keir Starmer is 'hard left'. Gareth Hughes of the Green Party hit the nail on the head when he reminded us that Ted Heath's Conservative government of 1973 was more left-wing than Starner's 2025 Labour Party.
