I also think Plaid will start to gain more gains in Wales. I live in North Wales, and obviously we are geographically very close to the North West of England and people from Merseyside and Manchester have always visited and holidayed here. Many of them own caravans in Rhyl, Prestatyn, Towyn, Abergele etc (Though god knows why anyone would want to). Right at the start of the pandemic before total lockdown, the Welsh government were clear that people shouldn’t be travelling over the border to holiday here, and people were also asked not to come to Snowdonia. The attitude in response on social media from a large number of people in England was absolutely disgraceful. Entitled, rude, obnoxious, jingoistic and xenophobic . They couldnt quite grasp that we are a nation in our own right with our own government who were asking people to stay away, because at that moment in time we had far fewer cases than they did. I know a lot of us thought if that’s how you really feel why bother coming here in the first place?
I think that it’s revealed a really nasty and unpleasant attitude towards the other home nations from many Little Englander types, and yes, I know not everyone is like that. But it’s far more prevalent than any of us realised.
