GIVE IT TO PULIS
This is why I don't vote

The problem is, even if you dont vote they'll still be there, affecting your life.Originally Posted by tigerbaybluebird
Totally agree.
so with that in mind, it's probably best to vote. at least that way you get a (small) say in what happens.
Sounds like PC really are the "cheap date" they were accused of being before the election.
Plaid Cuddling up with UKIP and the conservatives
Well that didn't take long Leanne
Doesn't really mean they're "cuddling".
Wood went for it knowing that she'd get the backing of her own AMs, that the Conservatives want Carwyn out at any cost, and that UKIP ran on a 'shake up the Assembly' pitch...meaning they'd all vote for her anyway on this.
think it was a statement more than an actual attempt at becoming the next government. but you're right, interesting indeed.
Yeah I don't think she would have made any policy bargains here.
Labour are comfortably the largest party so what does Wood do but strike a deal with right wingers.I can't see many of her party's supporters being happy with that.
Some are far from happy

I'm not surprised. This won't do Plaid any good.
According to the dark side, it's looking like Neil Warnock
This speaks volumes about Wood's breathtaking opportunism and hypocrisy. She is the first to slag off UKIP and right wing politics. Now she is getting them to back her even though she has much less of a mandate than Labour. I hope this blows up in her face and there is another Election next month because she will see her party lose seats.
Rhun ap Iorwerth on bbc wales right now talking about it
Is that his scrabble name.

Interesting that Leanne Wood thinks with 12 seats out of 60 she has any sort of right to be First Minister. Anyway their initial lies about there being no deals with other parties is a lie. Neil Hamilton has said they were approached by Plaid on Monday to back them in the FM vote.
Labour arrogance given a little reminder, Carwyn Jones should withdraw.
We could have two Trollopes running things in Cardiff then...
