Well, we all know that they are going to approve - next month. The problem was that there wasn't a winnable North Wales constituency seat available to him at the last Assembly Election. Dafydd El, Alun Ffred and Ieuan Wyn Jones had them wrapped up.<BR/><BR/>Bit of a bonus for Dafydd with all this conditions stuff is that he can have a bit of a dig at Dafydd El at the same time - a win/win for him.Glyn Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344589217554138315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-77044351339085435122007-09-24T12:41:00.000+01:002007-09-24T12:41:00.000+01:00I think Wigley would be an excellent choice for th...I think Wigley would be an excellent choice for the Lords, and at least he has been honourable when appropriate during earlier years.

Conditions that basically mean he would want the support of the party before doing so. If dafydd wigley was so concerned about being back in politics at any cost he could have chosen to stand in a constituency seat at the assembly elections. He stood on the list as a commited party member under the knowledge it would be very hard to be elected. I think if Plaid are to reverse the decision and allow members to the house of lords then dafydd would be a fantastic representative and it would only be right that he sought the support of the party membership, assembly members and mp's before doing so.Che Grav-arahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05360578629673569676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-88224699119047222082007-09-24T07:28:00.000+01:002007-09-24T07:28:00.000+01:00And the Welsh Conservatives too need active Welsh ...And the Welsh Conservatives too need active Welsh peers - am glad you would be up for it.
