I can't see how the low calibre of labour AMs is being overlooked by the same people who are questioning the calibre of Mark Reckless just because of the party he represents. I am thrilled that Leighton Andrews has gone, poisonous little man. Vaughn Gething is a creep, Drakeford is useless as is Jane Hutt and don't get me started on that quack Carl Sargeant. The debates are just tragic at the moment. Reckless is by far a better politician than all these people.

On a side note I am interested to see Neil Mcevoy elected, I can only imagine they will need to make the doors bigger down the bay just to fit is massive ego through the doors although I gather he ran an excellent campaign that pissed the Labour party off.
