The effective opposition
It would be remiss of me not to mention the compliment paid to the Welsh Liberal Democrats Assembly Group on the blog of BBC Welsh Affairs Editor, Vaughan Roderick yesterday.
He talks about how this Tory group is not as effective as the former Tory group.
And then he says,
“With Plaid Cymru having spent a year navel gazing, at times it has appeared that the Lib Dems, with their 5 AMs are the most effective of the three opposition parties. Some Tories are of the opinion that this cannot continue.”
Naturally, I agree with him and such comments far better reflect the situation in the Senedd than any transitory snapshot of public opinion.
