Brit Nat Lib Dems leadership chaos!

Brit Nat 'Welsh' Lib Dem leader Mike German, is furious at claims that Kirsty Williams AM is ready to challenge him for the leadership of the Welsh Assembly group.

Mike mistakenly sent an email denying the claims to a public area where it could be read by others. Before Mike's pathetic mistake, most people were not aware of Kirsty's active campaign to replace Mike German as the leader of the Brit Nat Lib Dems in the Welsh Assembly.

Kirsty was obviously annoyed that error prone Mike had let the cat out of the bag:

“I am not aware that there is a leadership vacancy... I just regret that Mike made that mistake of sending it out.”

So who should be the next leader of the Brit Nat Lib Dems in the Welsh Assembly? With only six members, it shouldn't take them too long to decide!

I would very much doubt this. As most Lib Dems seem to accept, this is as good as it gets, most believe that they actually should have done a lot better this time round as the Tories, Labour and Plaid were so weak.

I can't see any FPP seat in the Assembly that the Lib Dems will take from Plaid. The most obvious candidate would be Ceredigion, but I believe this is a safe Plaid seat in Assembly terms.

Regarding the List seats, maybe the Lib Dems will collect 1 or 2 extra max. They'll have 6-8 seats next time round.

Regarding the Brit Nat 'tip', thanks but no thanks. Until you lot are honest and accept that you ARE Brit Nats in the same way as Plaid and others are Welsh Nats, this point needs to be highlighted continuously.

"Please do not get the wrong idea. I am a floating voter. I have voted Plaid, Labour and Liberal in recent elections... I am concerned that you are turning people off Plaid Cymru."

I am also a floating voter, and have voted for the above parties in past elections. I am not worried about turning voters off Plaid, as it is not my party. I AM a Welsh Nationalist, but I am NOT affiliated to any political party.

What worries me is getting the Lib Dems, Conservatives and Labour TO ADMIT that they are British Nationalists, in exactly the same way as Plaid Cymru are Welsh Nationalists. Once they openly admit this, I will be a happy man and this blog will cease to exist :-)

Peter Black seems to be pretty peed off about the whole situation. Will he also be standing for Lib Dem leader in the Assembly? That'll be half of the Lib Dem members in the Assembly standing as leaders!

"Peter is part of that new breed of Lib Dems, well versed in winning elections....at all costs."

Yes, probably true - "at all costs indeed". Even if that involves the Brit Lib Dems supporting anything they fancy - they have no morals just a desperation to look like they can win. They did well in the recent General Elecrion by campaigning on a lie - only party to oppose tuition fees and the War on Iraq where you Brit Libs?

Shame that many fell for it!
