Has Peter Hain lost the plot (again)?
The Labour Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, Peter Hain has been all over the media in the last 24 hours condemning the proposed constituency boundary changes in unequivocal terms. It is the best impression of Dads Army's Corporal Jones since, well since Clive Dunn.
In the Western Mail this morning, he talks about the “butchery” of seats, an 'attack on Wales’ democracy, and Stalinism. In other words an attempt to achieve equity of representation and fairness in the political system is comparable to the murder of thousands of political prisoners and the ruthless oppression of freedom of speech and expression.
Mr. Hain really needs to get out more.
