Elections!
May. 6th, 2011 08:09 pm( AV and the UK-wide political landscape! )
Okay, enough of the UK-wide, let's talk about Wales.
( Welsh Assembly results! )
Finally, I want to talk a bit about the way the votes swung and the way Wales doesn't follow Scotland in voting patterns and nationalism and how this is clear, now that we have like, actual elections about these countries instead of all of us Celts panic-voting whatever Left party we think is most likely to get in.
( Plaid got hammered: here are the reasons I think that happened. It's a bit long and maybe a bit sad. )
( Finally, people are dicks sometimes! )
FIN.
