Should the 2021 Senedd Elections be pushed back at least a month.

Welsh Rugby Union chairman Gareth Davies has defended the decision to postpone Wales' Six Nations match against Scotland in Cardiff just 24 hours before kick-off.

The WRU had said earlier on Friday that the game at the Principality Stadium would go ahead but then called it off because of the coronavirus outbreak.
"It has been a tough week," said Davies.
"But we believe it was the proper and responsible thing to do."
Davies added: "I don't think we could've dealt with it any better. We made a decision last night that this match would go ahead. In a very quickly moving world things had changed by late morning today."
Several sports have been severely disrupted, with all Premier League and EFL football matches suspended until 3 April.The Cardiff game was the last major sporting event to be postponed this weekend despite government medical advice saying the match could still potentially be played.
"We initially followed the advice of government in terms of the scientific and medical evidence and that was the case up until last night," said Davies.
"We had an emergency board meeting last night to consider everything and we still thought, bearing in mind the advice we had, that keeping the game on was the way to go.
"Last night the Premier League were carrying on but by this morning that had changed and the EFL went on a similar course as did the Celtic v Rangers game in all being called off and other major global events were also being pulled
"We spoke to the Government this morning, who understood our position.
"For us to be the only sporting event to be on, we were mindful of the seriousness of the situation. We took into account supporters, players and staff and asked whether it was essential to subject to that risk."
"We've made a judgement as to whether there was a danger. By the time we arrived at lunchtime today we thought there could be exposure so we decided to pull the game."

Which is a rather  pathetic response as I argued yesterday 

Frankly as soon as the other matches in the final round were cancelled Wales should have fallen suit , and what would have been a Super Saturday decider is now meaningless.as no winner will be crowned 

Indeed  it would be possible to see some legitimacy in the 2021 Six Nations if it was completed with a Final Saturday at the end of the season.

In a move that was probably inevitable Number 10 has announced this afternoon that the English local elections won’t be taking place in May and have been put back till next year.The last time that elections had to be deferred was in 2001 when there was the Foot and Mouth outbreak. Then the deferral was for a month and included the 2001 general election that saw Tony Blair’s win with a second landslide and a turnout of less than 60% turnout.The elections for seven English regional mayors and for English police and crime commissioner are also part of those being deferred.

 The Cabinet Office also said it would be bringing forward legislation to enact the elections delay in England, and would ensure the Welsh authorities had the same powers.which is an interesting move

The only one of these which had a significant betting market was the London race which has attracted much less coverage than normal because Khan looks a certainty.

Yhis is probably bad new for the 2021 Senedd elections which will probably fall on the same day as the coverage will be on the English  political Map.

I don't see however why the Senedd Elections could not be put back a month  to the autumn to ensure that the public are not influnced by English Parish Pump issues.

OK its really that Westminster Politics will have an influence on the Senedd elections  and that is not a good thing for parties like Plaid Cymru.

But even Welsh Labour may fear that unless it has regained  some standing in English Polls , it to will be swamped by Tory propaganda from the media.
