'Political parties don’t really reach out to people in this community'

Residents in the new Caerdydd Penarth constituency showed varying levels of interest in the upcoming Senedd election, with some areas being more engaged than others. The election is expected to result in a significant shift in Welsh politics due to new constituencies and a new voting system.
The Senedd election is approaching with new constituencies and a voting system. Residents in Caerdydd Penarth, a constituency covering parts of Cardiff, Rhondda Cynon Taf, and the Vale of Glamorgan, showed different levels of interest. In Penarth, people were not keen to discuss the election, while in Grangetown, they were more open but cynical. The constituency combines traditionally Labour strongholds with areas that have been bellwether seats. A YouGov poll suggests Labour's vote will decline, with Plaid Cymru potentially gaining seats. The new super-constituencies raise questions about representation and casework handling.
