Wales’ First Minister Mark Drakeford faces a huge drop in popularity since the introduction of the 20mph speed limit policy, recent polls reveal.
The majority of Welsh people disapprove of this new limit as opposition campaigns continue.
Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies and Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth also hold negative ratings, albeit less severe.
Before the launch, Drakeford acknowledged a record-breaking petition against the 20mph limits and promised a formal response.
Despite over 462,000 petition signatures, Drakeford stands by his policy, citing its potential to save lives and decrease accidents. This is despite evidence proving otherwise.
With the next Senedd election in 2026, these decisions may have lasting implications on the Labour party’s chances.
