Plaid Cymru lose their way

Swansea and Llanelli have traditionally maintained a friendly rivalry that often manifests itself on the rugby field but is also evident elsewhere. Nevertheless, the good citizens of Swansea may well be bemused as they drive down Fabian Way towards the motorway to find that one group in Llanelli at least is seeking to annex the City's eastern suburbs.

This poster advertising Plaid Cymru's Llanelli Team is situated next to the McDonalds on the approaches to Swansea. It urges residents to 'Think Llanelli Think Plaid', a noteworthy slogan if only it were not situated a good 20 miles and a 30 minute drive from the constituency boundaries.

It is not even as if Plaid could excuse their geographical inexactitude by arguing that it was meant to catch voters on the way home. To view the poster one has to be driving in the opposite direction to Llanelli on a road that has no connection with it whatsoever. Have Plaid Cymru lost their way already?

More money than sense!

(and long may it continue)
 
What a way to blow money! Brilliant.
 
Peter Black- I see your ignoring the important point about the Lib Dems cock up translating Focus in Ceredigion this week. tut tut!
Still you think everything Lib Dem is great and everything by anyone else isnt as good when the public thinks so differently. Remind me since 1999 how many seats has your party gained in the assembly?

I think that this is a slightly bigger cock-up than a translation error. As for performance I do not need to remind you that in 1999 Plaid Cymru got 28% of the vote and 17 seats whereas in 2007 they got 22% of the vote and 15 seats. In contrast the Welsh Liberal Democrat vote has gone up at every election. It is Plaid who are suffering declining support.
 
....and might I add, with Plaid cowtowing to their Labour masters, then they are going to loose more support. Labour have made a mess of the economy, been involved in a bloody war, that no-one agrees with, are occupying a country that very few people heard off before 2000.

Mud sticks!
 
good to make use of that signpost and get somebody to paint over with a picture of kirsty,
good value for money!

Nonsense Anon, Plaid Cymru opposed both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and people know that full well.

The Lib Dems supported the war in Afghanistan, of course.
 
...and what alternative universe does Illtyd Luke come from????

Plaid fully embracing Blu Labours Orwellian ideals I see
 
Anon, it's a fact? The Lib Dems voted for the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.

Plaid voted against.
