However, since Mr Drakeford has become leader and in comparison to the miasma of sleaze and confusion in Westminster I've started to change my mind. Yes there have been one or two calls Drakeford has made which I disagree with (who agrees with everyone all the time?) but I have been left with the reassuring feeling that we are in safe hands under his watch. I would be feeling decidedly different if I lived in England.

If an independent Welsh state would get us away from the Tories then it would get my vote now.
I voted for the welsh Assembly. purely based on the fact that any country worth it's salt should have the ability to make decisions directly, i'm all for devolved powers. I'm not a Nationalist though, and i wouldn't vote for independence, i would have some concerns over what we might get politically.

Drakeford is a good man, i've met him on a couple of occasions and he comes across as very caring, compassionate and principled. He has his faults and he has got things wrong, but overall i'm happy with him.
