Challenging the Druid of Anglesey is Laudanum; Iolo Morganwg apparently invented neo-druidism under the influence of the drug.
Every election seems to throw up some new short term blogs for the campaign. The four Plaid hopefuls in the North Wales region are the first off the mark for 2011.
there's also the National Library of Wales blog in English:

ReplyDeleteLlyr Huws Gruffydd and Heledd Fychan are particularly strong candidates to be leading that list. Llyr was very good on TV when he got a chance during the Westminster elections.

Llyr is an excellent candidate and will be a brilliant AM. Personally I am disappointed that Heledd is in second place. Plaid will have had a poor constituency night if Heledd gets elected, so in an odd way I hope that she doesn't have a sniff. But she was the most outstanding candidate (from all parties) in this year's Welsh Westminster elections; it is a shame that she hasn't been given a better chance of success.
True, she did excel at those elections and her TV destruction of Lembit helped cost him the seat.
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame, but my understanding is that Plaid is a democracy and the local members vote the candidates in, the party doesn't get to put people in place. What a good position to be in for once though, where the ineffective people like Mohammed Asghar have gone and new, better people are waiting in the wings.
