I suspect that propping up Labour is what Plaid will do again, however I was pleased to find that the party has a new web presence dedicated to attacking Labour:
http://www.wherewaslabour.plaidcymru.org/
Well worth a read, but two technical problems that Plaid might like to consider.
1]The RSS feed isn't detected by Blogger so I can't put links to new attacks in my My Blog List feature to the left of this page.
2] When a website has a prominent Copyright Notice on every page it suggests that the site owners will come down like a ton of bricks on anybody who dares to copy the site's pages. I would have thought that viral copying of things like how Labour crapped on the miners would better serve the party.

I use Blogger and the feed works for me, Alwyn.
ReplyDeleteRather than the site address, put this into your Blog List:
http://www.wherewaslabour.plaidcymru.org/rss/news-1.xml
You'll probably also want to rename it manually.

Good site ... at last. Unions who attack the cuts now but bankrolled Labour when they bankrupted the economy. Bla bla miners but the party stood by when the miners needed them. A form to stop giving Danegeld to Labour-financing unions. Good stuff.
ReplyDeletePC seem to be very good at creating slick looking campaign sites that fizzle out after a few weeks, remember http://walescan.com/be-independent/home
ReplyDeleteIf running on a platform of 'kick Labour into touch' didnt prevent them from propping them up, what impact will 'Where were Labour' have?
Why doesn't Plaid allow one to join online, and they only accept cheques - these are on the way out!
ReplyDeleteC'mon Plaid - allow us to join online with a credit card - exPats with no sterling bank accounts are cut off from membership!!
Plaid DID kick Labour into touch by going into coalition with them.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big rugby fan, but isn't kicking the ball into touch a way of trying to gain ground?
On the constitutional question, law-making powers and proof of the decades-old claim about Barnett being unfair, Plaid extracted a fair price in return for 4 years of junior partnership.
Kicking Labour into touch is exactly what happened, but Labour has more supporters up in the stands.
Plaid hyprocracy laid bare, yet again. They like to forget that they been in government for the past 4 years, they seem to believe that they were in opposition for all the bad bits, and in government for all the good bits. The Welsh people are not that stupid, they will see through Plaid trying to treat them as such.
ReplyDeleteThe simple fact is, that everyone is asking the same question. What is the point of Plaid? No-one want's independence, their support has collasped, and more Plaid voters want Carwyn Jones as First Minister then Ieuan Wyn Jones. What's more, Plaid have repeatedly refused to rule out introducing a Conservative-LibDem government into Wales.
Over the past four years, we have had a Welsh Labour-led government introducing socially progressive legalsation, and the Welsh refenerendum was led by the Labour Party, and especially Carwyn Jones.
We are responsible for the good bits and they are responsible for the bad bits is just the political reality of coalition's Geraint, if it's hypocrisy then Labour are as guilty of it as Plaid are. The Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives will go through the same process in the next Westminster election. In fact you're engaging in the same sort of narrative yourself in claiming all the credit for the referendum result for Labour; conveniently forgetting that in a moment of panic, when he thought the vote would be No! Peter Hain claimed that it was all Plaid's "fault" that the referendum was being held!
ReplyDelete"Over the past four years, we have had a Welsh Labour-led government introducing socially progressive legalsation, and the Welsh refenerendum was led by the Labour Party, and especially Carwyn Jones. "
ReplyDeleteWe can only presume you were abroad on holiday when Peter Hain intervened and tried to call off the referendum. And later when he came around to the idea, declared "it is only happening at Plaid's insistence".
