    Any questions about the 2019 general election?

    That is what BBC Wales' Carl Roberts has been asking voters in Newport city centre.

    Some passers-by said they were "sick" of hearing about Brexit, and the election was about other issues too.

  6. The campaign in Wales so farpublished at 19:08 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2019

    With the main Welsh parties having published their manifestos, we've taken a moment to review how the election campaign in Wales is going so far.

    The Welsh Conservatives had a very shaky start a few weeks ago. The resignation of Alun Cairns as Welsh Secretary has left their campaign leaderless here, but they are riding the coat tails of the UK-wide campaign.

    For Welsh Labour there's a lot to lose in this election, they have a lot of marginal seats to defend. However, it's notable that Mr Corbyn has not yet visited Wales in this campaign (even though Tony Blair has!).

    Plaid Cymru's election outcome depends on some very fine margins. So for their leader Adam Price, very few votes could make the difference between a great result and a disaster.

    The Liberal Democrats hope to build on their success in the summer by-election in Brecon and Radnorshire. They're part of the so called "remain alliance" with Plaid and the Greens in more than a quarter of Welsh seats, but we don't know for sure what the impact will be on the results.

    It's difficult to tell how significant the Brexit Party will be in this election. They're not standing in the eight Welsh seats that the Conservatives won in 2017. Could that take crucial votes away from the Conservatives?
