A month on from Welsh Labour introducing the 20mph limit for most 30mph zones and it is fair to say that it hasn’t gone down well with the public so far. A poll last week suggested that 59% of people oppose the new limit with just 29% supporting its introduction. It also suggested that opposition had gone up since the new limit came in.
Perhaps most concerning for Welsh Labour will be that since August the popularity of First Minister Mark Drakeford has nosedived by 11 points so that him and opposition leader Andrew RT Davies are basically neck and neck when it comes to the public’s opinion on who would make a better First Minister. This begs a few questions. How did this seemingly innocuous policy go so wrong for Welsh Labour?
