Plaid for Welsh politics in Wales, or Conservative for english politics in Wales; I know what the english in Wales will be voting. Just a shame that there are too many of them here to stop them voting the conservatives in. It’s just proof that there are a large number of english people here, as Wales has never really been a Conservative country.

Welsh poll reported by Iain Dale is as follows :-
Constituency Lab 36 Plaid 20 Con 23 LibDem 15 Others 6
Regional Lab 35 Con 24 Plaid 20 LibDem 15 Others 5 .

Rather poor results for Plaid especially considering al their hype over the last few months . LibDem support steady at 2003 levels Conservative up . Very few seats will change hands .

Phil, I am still unsure what you mean by splitting the B&R seat – it is like saying split the Merionydd Dwyfor seat in two so as to double the Plaid seats. A nice idea but not going to happen because seats have to be a certain size.

But as for your prospects (I assume you are Con) in Mont & B&R they are reasonable good – I could see you taking both, although I dont think you will

The BBC Scotland web site has just done a survey on Scottish voters priorities.

Not that different from what you might expect from elsewhere, although I suspect more anti nuclear power and pro fishing and farming.
