What’s devolved for the general election?

We take a look at how much people know about what’s at stake for the upcoming general election, and how it’s a lot less than you’d think.

00:00 I think that just goes under the rug, people need to be more informed.

00:06 It was a snap election, he only called it last week or two weeks ago,

00:11 I believe, Richie Soonock.

00:13 It is going to be very soon, it is not as if it has been planned for six

00:18 months. Hopefully information will disseminate to people in that time.

00:24 Probably not, no. I have seen a lot of talk about independence and how

00:29 that could change a lot of things. I don't think people are necessarily

00:34 aware of how Westminster works in relation to Wales.

00:40 We just finished our first year doing politics at Cardiff Uni.

00:45 We learned a lot, a lot of it I did not know before.

00:48 It was quite insightful. The general public on a day-to-day basis,

00:51 it is not apparent. I think so.

00:53 People just need to be informed. Normally what happens is parties

00:58 and political broadcasts, a good couple of months before, there is a

01:04 snap election, hopefully people will be able to make informed decisions.

01:08 I understand that. I don't understand it at all.

01:11 I don't know where they put the money or what they do.

01:14 I don't really know, to be honest with you. I will be voting Labour,

01:19 but I don't really know how it works with the national health and

01:24 anything. The national health obviously needs funding.

01:29 Within Wales, things like the NHS, they have been run by Labour since it

01:34 started. It is all within Wales. Are you aware of that? Do you think

01:39 people need to know more about how that works? I didn't realise that,

01:43 actually. Obviously, what was his name?

01:48 Bongethal.

01:54 He is the new one now. I didn't realise that they would be running it.
