So disingenuous and frankly obscene for The Telegraph to present this Bill in the framing of "parents vs the state" - they're the only ones who seem to have done this so far, and neglects that conversion practices can be forced on any age group (and be administered by faith groups, doctors, etc.).

Good morning! And it is a very good morning in Wales (if a bit overcast)

The key findings (gathered from data by @jaclarner.bsky.social) are fairly predictable - those who have voted in previous Senedd elections (or are more likely to vote in this one), tend to have higher knowledge than those who have not/will not.

Since election observing and Democracy Volunteers is making the rounds on socials, leading to all kinds of conspiracy theories, I feel I should give my two cents at someone who's volunteered with them both in the UK and abroad. (See wind-ruined haircut at Caerphilly by-election last year)

It's also worth mentioning that Labour tried their *own* poll-like stunt weeks before the Camlas poll, arguably to a much higher degree of publicity than PC - if Hedges is right and the polls were mostly to blame then how much more money would they have to have spent on billboards to make it work?!
