Influential Labour supporters urge people to vote Plaid 15:31 - Apr 30 with 2456 viewstrampie

Top Labour members have published a letter saying Labour voters should give their regional vote to Plaid.
The letter is from Labour special advisors, professors and ex Labour MP's.

Labour voters particularly in South Wales should vote Plaid on the regional list otherwise voting Labour on the regional list would be a wasted vote, they clearly don't think Labour will get a majority and in that scenario they clearly want to team up with Plaid hence their plea.

I can't wait for it to be over now but for my clarification what is the order from left wing to right in Wales?

Is it Plaid, LD, Labour, Tory, UKIP?


Check out the Political compass site, Plaid are the only left of centre party that you mention the others are on the right.

Yep.

Leanne Wood describes herself as a socialist, but barely any of the other elected representatives of Plaid are even left-of-centre. That fact seems to have bypassed many. Besides, she may not even be leader in a month or so, and Plaid will go back to being the nationalist right-wingers they always have been.

They are nationalists with a few populist ideas, they will do anything to see an independent Wales. I'm not suggesting that all their supporters are nationalists, but it should be apparent to most that they are nationalists to the core, and have had far more in common with rural-Tories in England than the working class here.


In 1981 Plaid adopted "community socialism" as a constitutional aim.

One of the favourites to take over next from Leanne Wood as leader is Adam Price another noted socialist.

* Community Socialism is Co-operativism by another name, Tramp. It's been thirty five years since the resolution was apparently adopted and I can't say as I've witnessed a single Plaid initiative to that end?

** Adam Price isn't possessed of even the gossamer veneer of Socialism, Tramp. In fact his "credentials" on that front seem to consist of a single quotation, you know the one, given over a decade ago. Price's day job, his Directorship in a consultancy to promote and grow private enterprise, is the very antithesis of Socialism. What was it Lenin said again? To belittle the Socialist ideology in any way, to turn aside from it in the slightest degree means to strengthen bourgeois ideology. Well I hate to be the one to tell you, Tramp, but that's how Adam pays his mortgage. It's who he is and what he does.

You can put an exact date to when Plaid ceased to match words with deeds, Tramp. The 29th of January, 1943. That was the day that Saunders Lewis was defeated in The University of Wales Parliamentary by-election. Henceforth principle became mutable. With the departure of the great man the party leadership sought to barter for membership of Mammon's Kingdom instead of laying siege to it.

Price belongs to the left wing the quote you refer to is "I was a socialist before I was a nationalist."

This is 2016 Lohengrin, there are not many hard graft manual labour jobs out there, what do you want Adam to do ?, his father apparently was a miner and a professional boxer, so perhaps that background and being from the Amman valley might just cut if for a red for you.
