Wales election 2021: How will Labour fare as support for independence surges?

Welsh voters go to the polls on 6 May to elect members of the Senedd Cymru, the Welsh Parliament.

Nt only will be the first time voters have had the opportunity to elect politicians to its Parliament since the Brexit referendum in 2016, but it is also one of the first electoral tests for Labour leader Keir Starmer in a country which has traditionally been a Labour stronghold.

One of the key themes of the election has been an increase in the support for Welsh Independence, but issues such as the economy, healthcare and jobs are still at the forefront of voter's minds.
