You know you’re a fan of #WelshPolitics when you find yourself part of the ultras making the trip for Vaughan Roderick & Richard Wyn Jones (a).
@BBCNews @politics-BBCNews I love that the lead here is “ex-MP charged” rather than “current MS charged”!
Russell George, Member of the Senedd for Montgomeryshire, has also been charged but seemingly the BBC pays more attention to has-been members of the Union parliament than current members of Wales’ national parliament!
@NationCymru This is exactly why the closed list system for the new Senedd system is a Bad Thing. No-one should be 'almost certainly guaranteed' a seat - voters should have the right to support a party but reject specific candidates if they want (as in Northern Ireland under STV).
@huwfulcher What I find staggering is that he will lose the VONC but still not resign. If you can't command the support of a majority of MSs, you really shouldn't be allowed to cling on - but more importantly, you should have to humility to realise it too.
