The Welsh Conservatives need to embrace their Welshness, or face another wipeout (nation.cymru)

If the 2024 General Election results in Wales tell us anything, it’s that the Welsh Conservatives are in a lot of trouble.

In Wales, the Conservatives not only lost all the seats they held, they were beaten handsomely in nearly all of them. In only four seats were they within 5% of the winning party, while the party saw large majorities overturned in areas like Monmouthshire, and Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr; the latter of which had never returned a Labour MP in its long history as the constituency of Montgomeryshire.

I know nothing about the Welsh Conservatives...

...are they a bunch of Torie shills?

You would imagine so.

How about instead not embracing excess capitalism and start pushing to tax the rich?

Do they really think they lost so much just because they were not welsh enough?
