one of plaid cymru's "leadership hopefuls" (quaint newspapery use of language, that one), helen mary jones, says that the conspiracy to get rid of ieuan wyn jones was just a "misunderstanding".



well, i watched her being interviewed on the t.v. yesterday morning and i don't believe her. she has the look of a political predator. if she wins the leadership of the party, plaid will be used as her personal toy and she'll destroy it completely. i won't vote plaid if she's the leader, and i've voted for them since i was allowed to vote (with an exception when i once voted labour many years ago). i fear that many other people will feel the same as me and that the party will lose all credibility with her as leader.



she's a manic self-publicist. she's also useless on the telly: she smirked, mugged at the camera, turned to look at the camera when a rear-view of her and her co-interviewee was used, all to try to ensure she was the centre of attention.



plaid members beware. you elect her as party leader at your peril. the only reason she's a member of plaid is that it's the only party in which she would ever have a chance of winning high office. labour and the tories wouldn't touch her with a 10 foot shitty stick.



don't elect her as leader. instead, eject her from the party for conspiracy, along with dai lloyd, janet davies and janet ryder. they're all disloyal and will damage the party further if any of them are allowed to stand in party leadership elections.
