Throughout this campaign i have seen 3 Plaid activists yesterday, and have received 1 postal leaflet from them. Compared with the Lib Dems utter persistance in the postal leaflets, i believe i received about 4 per week, but a complete lack of doorstep callers. I think if i was a ‘personal’ voter that allowed the best talker my vote i dont think i would be voting at all.
Im annoyed i missed the leader debates for Wales, but there should not have been a reliance on these… whatever happened to the annoying knock on the door and the chance to be swayed by a convincing argument ?
Wow, I hadn’t predicted that one. That was huge.
Any news on whos standing in Ceredigion in the Assembly election?
Will it be Elin for Plaid, what about the Lib Dems? Even with the collapse in their vote in that last ITV Wales poll they must think they are in with a chance?
Elin’s been selected for Plaid, but I don’t think the LibDems have selected a candidate yet…. And Ceredigion doesn’t tend to follow Wales wide results, let alone UK wide, so it could probably go either way. It’s going to be one to watch.
