Jonathan Edwards of Plaid Cymru talks to Cambria about Welsh politics. A video interview in 5 five minute segments.
Welsh Conservatives
Did Tory racists force Oscar to join Plaid?
The biggest surprise was that he had ever been chosen as Plaid’s second nominee for South East, for he is clearly out of sympathy with any idea of “independence”. He said he a strong believer in the United Kingdom, and seemingly in the Royal Family.
I asked him whether he suspected racism among the Tories and whether he believed that the Tory Party had really changed its spots?
News Scoops
The Future is Bright – The Future is Plaid
Jonathan Edwards, Plaid Prospective Candidate, Carmarthen East and Dinefwr has written this exclusive for Cambria Politico.
These are certainly exciting times for Plaid Cymru. A General Election when we expect to win the largest amount of Parliamentary seats in our history; an Autumn or 2011 New Year referendum on full law making powers within devolved competencies; and a Welsh General Election in 2011.
Economy
It’s the economy … stupid
The BBC’s Newsnight programme recently commissioned and broadcast a voter survey on attitudes to the various UK party leaders and their policies from the same people that helped guide Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. How does this relate to Wales?
Plaid Cymru
Plaid hopelessly overtaken by the Scots
It’s not so much that Labour had to explain away a disaster. Plaid were faced with the same job. And if you’re in the shit, Rhodri Morgan is far more capable of explaining that he is in fact surrounded with the milk of human happiness than Ieuan Wyn Jones would ever be.
Welsh Politics
Euro-politicians treat us with contempt, so vote Rhodri’s lot
SOME POLITICAL parties treat their would-be voters with contempt, and this has been happily happening in the European elections now completed in the UK, although still ongoing in the rest of Europe.
Welsh Politics
Lib Dems start to fall off the edge of Europe
When the Welsh Lib Dems start likening themselves to the UK Independence Party, you know they are heading for a fall, writes Clive Betts from the Assembly.
The big political fight now reaching its climax is which party will win the fourth European seat in Wales.
