Thread: Eluned Morgan , Next Labour Leader In Wales , I hope

    Re: Eluned Morgan , Next Labour Leader In Wales , I hope

    I don’t think Drakeford has done too much wrong but he can sound arrogant at times and is not charismatic. That he is infinitely more competent and honest than the clown in London goes without saying. Don’t even get me started on RT.

    More youngsters are indy curious or support the idea.

    Why they're interested in politics instead of doing drugs and shagging, I have no idea.
    Indeed I was completely off my face till my mid forties ff sake

    We are one of the poorest post industrial regions of the UK

    Most of our population is centered in the south east corner of Wales

    The figures for independence don't add up

    These marches for a independent Wales would be attended by thousands of people week in week out if there was an appetite for an independent Wales

    We hear this from the nationalists all the time but at election time this supposed silent wave bottle it

    The best future for Wales, and Scotland lies in a left of centre democratic rainbow type of government in Westminster

    the independent plaid cymru power base is a few seats in West and North Wales

    Despite many Welsh mafia strolling up and down cathedral Road in pontcanna South East Wales is generally a Labour stronghold with a sprinkling of tories

    I can't see plaid increasing their vote this time , its all hot hair

    Labour won't have your vote because mark drakeford doesn't believe in devolving the benefits system to Wales?

    I want him gone for a lot of reasons but if we do take over the welfare system its going to cost a shed load of money to pay for it

    How are we going to raise that money ?

    Basically she's a career politician that moved from academia to politics and never done a job in the private sector ever. Not the best background for a leader imo.

    I would rather someone who has worked in the public sector such as a nurse , doctor etc be a political leader than the managing director of tescos

    A lawyer , solicitor etc ?

    Cameron , Boris ?

    Hardly shining examples

    Morgan started off in media , she's from a strongly anti Conservative family and she's very bright

    That will do for me . I certainly would prefer her to drakeford and anyone else in the current Welsh Labour Party

    Well your last statement speaks volumes about your opinion of the abilities of the people you want to see running Wales for the next term.

    Ah - and there you have it - the kinder and gentler face of a Labour supporter.

    Why are you so fixated over what other peoples politics may be?
    Again you avoid what has been said and try to deflect attention on a different course.
    But what you said does speak volumes of your opinion of the people you want to see governing us. and it would appear your opinion is not very high.
    And it seems you are concerned that the conservatives may make gains at the election. I suppose this must mean there are more completely stupid people in Wales that you thought there was. After all they must be mustn't they?
    They shouldn't be allowed to vote, they're too stupid.

    You can gauge peoples opinions on the Internet and multi media far quicker than talking to people in the street
    As far as I can recall that was known when he was voted in. His strengths were that he is one of the most intelligent people in the Senedd and knowledgeable about his brief.

    What is Drakefordism? — Liz Silversmith: https://hiraethblogcymru.medium.com/...h-9fb73a1a3d21

    1) Government as a force for good (further explanation for each point discussed in the link)
    2) Universal rather than mean-tested services
    3) Cooperation is better than competition
    4) Improve the collective voice, not individual choice
    5) Service users and service providers are engaged in a joint enterprise with high trust, not merely servers and recipients
    6) And finally, pursuing the equality of outcome rather than the equality of opportunity

    Mark ends his pamphlet on a prophetic note: that “the environmental dimension of a more equal Wales will have to move more centre stage”. This was back in 2008, before Extinction Rebellion; before the more urgent warnings from the UN; before we accepted — even if scientists had been warning for years — that the nature crisis and the climate crisis will engulf us all unless we do something about it.

    Ever the professor, ever the forward-thinker, he is both the architect of clear red water and the inventor of Drakefordism.
    Most criticism hasn't focused on who he is, what he believes or the choices he's lead. Sometimes that has worked in his favour and sometimes it has not, but isn't the plan for him to step down within the next term as happened when he took over the role? Deciding to vote Labour or not on basis of Drakeford is only relevant for short term.

    Interesting suggestion. I do worry about anyone who would want RT leading the country.

    This is an election for the parliament as a whole, and not a presidential election. you're voting for a party to govern, you're not voting for a leader outright.

    Unfortunately not. Can I assume qualities such as charisma, articulation and intelligence were bereft of this interview?
