i can't decide if 50.43% turnout is good or bad for plaid

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 3h

The turnout for the 2025 Caerphilly by-election is 50.43%

2021's turnout was 44.31%

It is unusual for a by-election to have higher turnout than the general election

50.43% turnout?!

מיידלבאָס ↙️↙️↙️ @pharisee.bsky.social · 3h

apparently it's recount territory in caerphilly which means sleeptime for me

i think it's a dead heat and could go either way honestly, i'm erring on the side of optimism

מיידלבאָס ↙️↙️↙️ @pharisee.bsky.social · 4h

my vibes are:

plaid cymru 37.5%
reform 36.9%
labour 15.6%
tories 3%
greens 3%
lib dems 2%
others 2%
