cystadlu in context

Ac mae'r gwrthbleidiau yn y Senedd hon yn cystadlu â'i gilydd i roi llais iddo.

And the opposition parties in this Senedd compete with each other to amplify it.

A gadewch i mi ddweud wrthych chi: gwrandewch, nid yw'r wleidyddiaeth chwiban ci hon o geisio cystadlu â Reform yn mynd i'ch cael chi i unman, Darren, ac rydych chi'n gwybod hynny.

And let me tell you: listen, this dog-whistle politics of trying to compete with Reform is not going to get you anywhere, Darren, and you know it.
