A liberal interpretation
IT now seems clear that the “progressive alliance” for Westminster didn’t even get as far as the “rainbow coalition” for Wales. After five days of playing footsie, a deal is on the table between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. It is also clear that the Liberal Democrat/Labour talks never really got off the ground. [...]
Today it’s make your mind up time for the Liberal Democrats
With power sharing talks at Westminster nearing ‘crunch time’, Welsh Conservative Assembly leader Nick Bourne says we’ve seen it all before in Wales.
‘The alternative to a reforming government is a regressive government’
The extraordinary events of yesterday afternoon may lay the basis for real, lasting and sustainable change in the way that politics is done in the UK – let the progressives seize the opportunity
Blogs on Brown
HANDS up all of you who thought Gordo’s resignation at the end of the day was an attempt to keep calm a FTSE that spent all day being calmed by the promise of Euro billions to our Greek partners? I thought so, but my watch must have been fast or something. Guido Fawkes, ever quick [...]
The little man resigns
ALUN CAIRNS and I have know each other since we were at school together. Our mutual memories go back a long way and I’ve always found my old school friend to be a bridge between the past and the present. A link between now and the long ago days of the school yard and debating [...]

Peter Black has now got in on the act too over on his blog where he stresses his experience in such matters and that the UK Liberal Democrats will have learnt from their experiences in similar processes here and in Scotland. Thank goodness for that. [...]
A luxury Labour must strive to avoid
As the Conservatives and Lib Dems edge towards a deal, should Labour accept that opposition now beckons?
The nasty party lost this election
Nobody won, but in an election where Labour should have been shown the door, the Conservatives’ pathological loathing for Gordon Brown cost them dear
There must be a price for failure
NORMALLY at least one party leader resigns after a poor election result. Since pretty much everyone lost on Thursday, it’s quite surprising that no heads have yet rolled and there have been so few attempts at regicide from those who have won or lost. Of course David Cameron has no need to go anywhere and [...]
Welsh Blog Round Up, General Election Week 5
IT MAY be taking a liberty but as the results of the results are still an issue, then we’re keeping the weekly blog review going for a bit longer. After all, people may have some very interesting things to say online now, don’t you think? The campaign is history now – let’s not go there [...]
Think national: vote local?
The results are now in, but what do they tell us about how local factors impacted on the election? Three constituencies in particular highlight some very particular local factors
Everyone’s in power
THE day after the night before, and instead of the inquest we get the horse trading. Rumours of a done deal, between the Tories and Plaid Cymru in a balanced Parliament, swirled through Senedd corridors and seeped on to Twitter late last week. The terms for achieving Plaid’s manifesto commitments – a smooth Westminster passage [...]
