McEvoy always seemed tailor made for UKIP. maybe with the party in disarray, am irrelevant throebsck to apartheud sitting in the welsh assembley in Neil Hamilton he will find his spiritual home as welsh party leader and lead us onto new heights if he is the charismatic “man of the people” your posts seem to propel him to.

I have no control over such things, but Gwynoro’s not such a bad old stick in many ways. I believe he’s involved with YesCymru.

New stereotype Welsh politicians have emerged in the past decade where I live. Most of the men politicians are still middle aged Councillors, and all are white, slowly being replaced by the new breed of Researchers and Assistants to the AMs and MPs (generally young arts graduates with no life experience) getting their first heave up the slippery poles. There are so few old women politicians in Wales that they don’t really count to much (apologies to the able few like Ann Clwyd). Nearly all the new emerging young women are coming from jobs that were created in the “Third Sector” with teenager like crushes on Jeremy Corbyn and Momentum. I dare not mention specific gender issues with both sexes, you’ll have to work that out for yourselves. The main complaint is that all of them now seem to serve just two groups – themselves and their Political Party and are willingly whipped by their Leaders.. Nobody seems to care about the people and their communities. We need a New Party in Wales with a good sprinkling of people like Neil McEvoy.

she also claimed for a hotel bill when watching a pop concert – no or little action ever taken as far as I am aware – but then she is perhaps 1. a wimman and 2. not known for standing up against vested interests.

We had a similar situation here in Blaenau Gwent around a decade ago, after the untimely death of Peter Law. This then resulted in his widow being elected to the Senedd on a sympathy vote. Nice gesture but totally usless in the practical, political sense.She supported the Labour group even though she claimed to be representing Blaenau Gwent Peoples Voice.

Her greatest contribution to those that put her itno office, the setting up of a number of women’s refuges and a centre for those suffeering from low esteem. And if that was enough of a low point she then attempted to censor the poet Peter Black amid claims of blasphemy even though the law had previously been repealed. And for those sterling endeavours she received the BBC Wales award of, Campaigning Politicain of the Year., While in the background unemployment continued to rise in the county along with educational attainment continuing to fall awayl in Blaenau Gwent schools.

In cases such as these nothing rings more true than the saying, ” we get the governments and politicians that we deserve “.
