What's in a name?
The battle of names regarding the new Assembly coalition government has the potential to be an entertaining source of conflict over the next few months. Plaid Cymru members consistently refer to it as the One Wales' Government, whilst Labour AMs have reverted to their usual form in calling it a Labour-led Assembly Government as in this press release from Val Lloyd.
Val is claiming sole credit for Labour for extra money that has been given to carers even though her party is supposed to be in partnership with Plaid Cymru. Will this sort of behaviour be carried into the chamber as it was during the Liberal Democrat-Labour coalition? If so then it will be fascinating watching the reaction of some Plaid AMs. We may even join in.
