It's the inverse of the Tories where they look 70 at 35.

There's a lot of safe labour seats in Wales. Probably become a bit compacent. Not too familar with its workings and structure though.

Yeah, my misses is kinda supportive but doesn't really want to vote Labour here cos welsh labour appear to be a blairite rump state atm. the conversation goes 'Well why haven't labour built lots more council houses then, it's devolved here and they've been in power forever. And the answer is, they're still the poo poo lot from before Jezza. To which the reply is 'and you want me to vote for them then?'

I guess the response there would be "If the main Labour party wins they'll be able to exert a lot of influence to make Welsh Labour less poo poo" though I don't know if that's... actually true lol

Surely the best thing to do is vote labour for the sake of a corbyn government to help in areas that aren't devolved, and then maybe consider it more carefully when it comes to a Senedd election?

Yeah the Scots and the Welsh were 100% considered safe parachute seats for the most worthless of the Nu Lab failsons, and we are absolutely suffering the hangover of that today.

Welsh Government still gets its funds from Westminster though so not sure how much scope they have to build more council houses or anything else.
It's not got the same powers as Scottish Government.

Welsh Labour would just say it's Westminster trying to interfere with Welsh issues.

I do go with Plaid in the Senedd elections. Mind you I'm in South East Wales where we returned not one but TWO loving UKIP candidates so we have a bunch of people that need to be pushed into the sea.

A big chunk of the words (and pictures!) got repurposed from a post that's languished in the drafts folder of my blog for almost a year because it didn't really fit. My ex-boss has encouraged me to write a book based on the blog, but I've resisted the idea on the basis that nothing ruins something fun quicker than doing it for a living.

I'll probably dump it here (and, with swearwords removed, on my company intranet where I have a strange little fanbase) when it's done, but I'm really not fussed if everyone scrolls straight past it. I was just amused/amazed/terrified at just how much I'd typed on a subject even I don't really care about *that* much.

Anyone want to guess how much Rowson at the Guardian gets paid? I have no idea except that it will be a fraction of the pay for an order of magnitude more effort.
