I expect both of those parties to use their whips to vote down Plaid's proposals.John Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447224248021209852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-40960144077547349772009-04-03T13:57:00.000+01:002009-04-03T13:57:00.000+01:00The local election in May 2008 in Carmarthenshire ...The local election in May 2008 in Carmarthenshire saw voters electing for change, as the poll suggests, but, of course, this never happened due to the Labour/Independant 'alliance', and the rubber stamping executive was preserved. Will the remodelling of the cabinet system proposed by Plaid give people in the county fairer representation at an influential level? If something is not done then voter apathy will return and democracy will be dealt another blow.caebrwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233902574832152764noreply@blogger.com
