Welsh Liebour must be desperate, isn’t it, lovely?
The Liebour Party, having failed to secure a workable majority in the Welsh Assembly elections, have been forced to form a coalition government with Welsh nationalist party, Plaid Cymru.
This is a blow to Liebour who have lost control of Scotland after 50 years to the Scottish nationalists and made all the worse because Plaid actually wanted to go into a coalition with the Illiberal Dipshits but they couldn’t get their act together so they plumped for Liebour as their second choice.
Plaid leader, Ieuan Wyn Jones, will become deputy First Minister whilst Welsh Liebour leader, Rhodri Morgan, will stay as First Minister. This is the first time Plaid have been in government in its 82 year history and the first time that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have all had a nationalist government.

Seems rather odd to me, especially odd is that Plaid have agreed, having been so keen to stress that under no circumstances would they enter into a coalition with Labour. It seems to me like PC have almost betrayed their voters, seeing as they pledged in their campaign that they would never even consider entering into coalition with Labour. Especially when one takes into consideration the fact that most of Plaid’s voters would have probably have voted for them as a protest at Labour, so to enter into government with them seems a bit odd to me. Looks like they just want to be in government so badly that they will betray a (near) manefesto promise.
July 8th, 2007 at 4:33 pmSo does this mean that Plaid will vote along with Labour on English Matters?
The whole thing stinks.
July 8th, 2007 at 4:50 pmNo, Plaid won’t vote with Labour on English matters. I doubt that Labour voters will be disappointed. Read the “one wales” document… If it gets implemented it might just save the party in Wales. And I doubt you could ascribe most of Plaid’s voters as merely protesting against Labour, since the party is well established in parts of the country.
