The Welsh Liberal Democrats, led by Jane Dodds, emphasize 'grown-up, adult' politics ahead of next year's Senedd elections. Dodds showcased this approach by successfully negotiating a deal to pass the Welsh government's £26 billion budget, securing crucial funding for social programs and preventing significant financial loss for Wales. This strategy aligns with feedback from constituents seeking pragmatic governance amidst a system overhaul toward proportional representation. The party aims to maintain voter trust and commitment to delivering effective leadership, distancing from traditional party politics and highlighting their responsibility towards the Welsh populace.
"If that budget did not go through the people of Wales would have lost five billion pounds straight away... I don't want to play party politics with people's lives."
"Last night I was knocking on doors... people were saying we want grown-up adult politics. We want to make sure that people, our politicians, deliver for Wales."
