Thomas also told the rally that Reform could beat expectations and win a majority in the Senedd, which would require winning at least 49 seats.<\/p>\n
Opinion polling for the election have led most to expect that no party will win that many seats the 96-member Welsh Parliament.<\/p>\n
Questioned by BBC Wales on whether he has a path to power, Thomas said it would be to “win a majority”.<\/p>\n
“The only reason people are saying you can’t win a majority is the opinion polls,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I think they’re out. The pollsters are struggling with this system, and with politics in general.”<\/p>\n
He added: “I’m not saying we will. I can’t take anything for granted.”<\/p>\n
Experts have expected that whoever wins the election will need to find someone else to help get crucial votes through the Senedd, whether in a coalition or a more informal arrangement.<\/p>\n
A Plaid Cymru spokesperson said: “If this is all Farage has to say, then it shows just how desperate Reform UK are just two days before a historic Senedd election.<\/p>\n
“After all, his party is simply made of parachuted ex-Tories whom bear no reality of the issues facing the communities they seek to represent, nor any credible plans to fix them.”<\/p>\n
It added that Plaid was “proud to have candidates rooted in our communities”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thomas also told the rally that Reform could beat expectations and win a majority in the Senedd, which…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":568170,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-568169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=568169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/568170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=568169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=568169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=568169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
