Wales are on track to make lying on the campaign trail illegal for politicians. But how would that actually work — and who decides what counts as a “lie”?
As the Senedd elections rapidly approach, the campaign is ramping up - and policy leaflets are coming in thick and fast. Party are sharpening their messages and targeting their rivals - but how much of it cuts through?
In this episode, we break down:
- The proposed law on election lies and the big questions around enforcement
- The rise of Reform and why other parties are focusing their attacks
- What campaign leaflets reveal about party strategy
- Whether voters understand Wales’ new voting system — and who benefits if they don’t
- The planned ban on greyhound racing, and why it could face legal challenges
- And whether hustings even matter in modern elections
