Sweet and Sour Y!
I finished the first blog by stating that change is possible. Well surprisingly for me I was correct!
I am a socialist and a bit of an anarchist by now. I joined Plaid Cymru when Leanne Wood stood for the leadership of the party, and that because of her clear left wing views and unambiguous terms, as highlighted in Green Plan for the valleys. I voted for Hywel Williams, who has a fault free record in his fight for social equity issues in Parliament. I am also active with the Welsh Language Society locally and nationally.
It's no secret that I have been supportive of Jeremy Corbyn, and indeed more supportive than some local members of the labour party.
The Labour Party didn't win the election but it managed to secure support for left wing policies (no different to policies of Governments of all colours in London since the second world war). A large proportion of the electorate rejected the savage message of the capitalists papers together with the establishment based BBC (the same bias was observed with independence referendum in Scotland) . The neo liberal regime has shocked and hope that there is little to no austerity agenda idiolegol. Managed to inspire young people to register to vote and to be involved in politics and to fight for a better world. This in part is a reflection of what happened with the YES campaign in Scotland.
However in case we over enthuse, The blaireite members of parliament who wanted to replace Corbyn are still wed to the neo liberal blaire agenda..
You could have sworn that Welsh Labour was a different party and now there is 'clear blue water' between and Labour in London, rather than the 'clear red water' Rhodri Morgan talked about in the past?
That is why politics is far too important to be left in the hands of politicians!
P.S..
The blog is available in the ' slang' of many languages including Spanish for the cultural Imperialist labour party candidate in Arfon. (She responded to a Welsh language e-mail firstly in English and then in Spanish!)
