Oddities
Bubble — By Daran Hill on October 27, 2009 1:01 pmEVERY extensive survey has a few oddities in it, and the You Gov poll released this morning did make me smile for a number of reasons. Here are a couple of absolute gems from the surveyed public:
- 3% of Plaid Cymru voters trust the UK Government a great deal to act in Britain’s best interests (not getting the message obviously)
- 1% of respondents think the European Union should have the most influence on health policy in Wales
- 1% of respondents think that local authorities are best placed to run foreign and defence policy
Wonder if either of the last two policy ideas will ever make it into a manifesto… Who will be the first ambassadorial representatives from Gwynedd? Will Torfaen ever commission its own nuclear deterrent?

Hasn’t Torfaen already got a nuclear deterrent? Anyone takes a look at Paul Murphy and they will assume the country isn’t worth bombing!
As for the Plaid question how was the question set out? I would imagine that people are asked their political preference and the seperatly what they think of the UK government. In that case someone I guess may not be a supporter of Plaid but more a supporter of the actual local AM or MP. In that case they would say plaid but maybe not follow it beyond an indervidual? Just a thought?
