A good successor to Adam Price. Nevertheless, I worry that Jonathan's opponents in the selection were of rather low calibre, so it was a no brainer really. To use a sporting metaphor, Team Plaid appear to have little or no depth of talent in the squad. When the time for a general election comes, the big game, then Plaid needs to find the political equivalent of Shane Williams (who incidently, is a Brynaman/Glanaman constituent). Another concern, is the preponderance of public sector types all vying to get their snouts into the (another) trough - this is the last thing that Plaid Cymru or Wales needs. If Plaid Cymru are to build, then the subtext to Plaid Cymru - the Party of Wales needs to be rewritten ... and soon. Well yes…congratulations indeed. A good successor to Adam Price.
