You said ''If Labour had half their manifesto as pictures, that was probably for the (g)nats to "read".''
So what nats would read a Labour manifesto ?, I would guess Brit Nats and Zionists ?, what nats were you referring to that would read a Labour manifesto ? |
(g)nats as in nationalists.
What on earth have Zionists got to do with it? |  |

Ok, let's put an end to this whole "nats" nonsense, it's a topic you seem to be obsessed with and literally nobody on here agrees with you about it.
So, again I ask that since Labour had all of those pledges that you mentioned in their manifesto, aside from the investment committee thing, what exactly has Plaid won in this negotiation? | | | |

The very least Wood should have got was a commitment to look at voting reform. The election result was way out of kilter with the proportion of votes cast and it needs looking at. The number of FPTP constituencies needs to be reduced, or even better get rid of the FPTP element altogether.
At least if they'd secured that, Wood's massive blunder by cosying up to the Tories and UKIP to try and coerce herself into government last week would have been worth something. As it is, a deal in which Labour has more or less only agreed to implement policies it was already committed to is no deal at all. |  |

Zionists are Nats are they not ?, Brit Nats are Nats are they not ?, haven't Labour got some of each group in their ranks ?, friends of Israel types and GSTQ unionist types ? |  |

Getting rid of FPTP constituencies altogether would just get rid of constituencies (e.g. Gower, Swansea East, Swansea West etc) and they would all just become "regions" (e.g, South West Wales) wouldn't it?
If that's the case then you would certainly have less accountability. There is less accountability in general with the list/regional AMs anyway.
Admittedly, I'm no expert on this I just can't see how else it would work. | | | |

Maybe they do, but it clearly doesn't define their ideology.
That is rather unlike another nationalist party I can think of called Plaid Cymru (aka The Party of Wales). You can't really get more nationalist than that, as proven by their willingness to do anything to get into power. No different to the Scottish nationalists. | | | |

There are ways of making sure of proportionality while maintaining the local link, although no system is perfect Getting rid of constituencies is a step too far all at once perhaps but the boundaries certainly need looking at. The result of the election is in many ways worse than that worst vagaries of the Westminster FPTP fiasco due to the lower turnout. Whichever way you cut it, Labour winning just shy of half the seats on 35% of the votes cast isn't right. | |

The camera went on the Labour faces they weren't laughing, they were like children been told off by their mam.
The Red Rhondda rebel will hold them to account, there is only so much she can do about the way people vote but she can still hold them to account. |
The "Red Rhondda Rebel" has bent over to kiss King Carwyn's arse and today she went back into mock "confrontational" mode.
Plaid have made the Lib Dems look like a savage negotiating force and Nick Clegg look like Margaret Thatcher FFS.
How can you even come on here with your "Brit Nationalists" insults when you're leader's head has just popped up from under smug Carwyn's desk? Unbelievable!!!

So what Nats are you talking about that would be trying to read a Labour manifesto ? | |

I don't find the term Welsh Nationalist insulting in the slightest. But your use of the term "Brit Nationalist" seems derogatory as if only Plaid ave the interests of Wales at heart.
They are mostly all Welsh nationals, are they not? | |

Why do you think Brit Nat is insulting and Welsh Nat is not ?, you are making a distinction when there isn't one, either both terms are insulting or neither. | |

Trampie which parts of the deal today that Plaid are so proud of were not in Labour's manifesto?
I'm intrigued.
One of the five "major victories" (a quote from Plaid's spokesperson) is for the Welsh Government to "campaign vociferously for "remain" vote".
Genuinely, how desperate does a party have to be to highlight a campaign to remain in the EU (something Welsh Labour already support) as one of your five major victories from the past week?
I would say it's unbelievable, but it's totally believable given the characters in this embarrassing story. | | | |

What has that got to do with what I said?
Plaid state that a major victory of theirs today is a "vociferous campaign to remain" in the EU, and Labour already support that.
It's desperate. You know it, I know it. [Post edited 18 May 2016 22:22]

Fair play Tramps only you could accuse Labour of being a Zionist party while they are holding an inquiry into whether there is an institutional antisemitism problem within party. |  |

Yet couldn't get a majority in the WAG despite a poor incumbent Labour, despite the rising popularity for nationalism as seen by the SNP in Jockland... | |

Apart from the only reason they actually didn't win is because the Lib Dem refused to play along.
If she had done then they would have won the vote - it's as simple as that. And they would have won a vote with the only mechanism available to them at that point to have Tories / UKIP support and even cabinet positions.
I just don't believe them that it was all such a surprise when every other leader has categorically stated that they were approached and talks were being held. Even Kirsty Williams described it as a rag tail coalition involving UKIP. Interesting use of the word coalition if nothing was planned. |
Even the unprincipled Liberals wouldn't get into bed with UKIP. It was never happening. |  |

The vote finished 29-29. It was only Kirsty Williams that stopped Leanne Wood forming some kind of Frankenstein administration. You reckon they knew that Williams would vote in that way and went ahead with the vote on that basis to give Labour a "bloody nose"?
Pull the other one, Ux. It's got Dafydd Wigley on. |
You really think there was the remotest prospect of Williams voting for UKIP? Have a word mun.
Not entirely convinced Wood used the victory to force through anything of note though. Shame. | |

You're the only one using the term to bash any Welsh politician outside of plaid Cymru. Are you so desperately ashamed of the way plaid sold out to the "Brit Nat's" as you call them you're trying to blank it out by arguing with me lol? | |

She didn't need to vote for UKIP. If Williams had abstained the UKIP/PLaid/Tory alliance wins the vote and Wood is First Minister. Then what happens? That's the question no one who thinks that Wood's shenanigans were just a harmless wheeze is prepared to answer | |
