Wales' First Minister has said that Welsh Labour are the most successful political party in the democratic world. Speaking ahead of an event to mark the 100 years of Wales being the largest party in Wales, Mark Drakeford said that the reason for the party's electoral success is that they "don't take the Welsh public for granted. November 15 will mark a century of Labour being the largest party in every Westminster, European and Senedd election.
Speaking about the event, Mr Drakeford said: "Labour has much to celebrate by being the most successful political party in Wales and indeed in the democratic world. Even when the Party had difficult times across the UK, in Wales, support remained solid especially at the local government level.
"A part of the reason for that success is because we have never been complacent, and we do not take the Welsh public for granted. Our politicians are rooted in our communities and we retain a strong link with our trade unions which gives us a real sense of what the public wants. Our work is never complete and we will continue to fight for social justice at every opportunity adapting to the demands of a changing society."
