We've got to put aside the old tribal politics.


We can overturn our unfair electoral system and build a progressive majority
We've got to put aside the old tribal politics.






I do despair. I just read this and it makes sense of course not to go into a hung parliament or coalition with the Tories not that they would offer anyway but "Os 'dyn ni'n parhau i bleidleisio Llafur fel 'dyn ni wedi am y 100 mlynedd diwethaf fydd dim byd yn newid"  If as you claim that Wales or rather the South Wales Coalfield, Anglesey and North East Wales have voted Labour for the last 100 years would it not make sense to go into coalition with yewer friends the SNP, the Greens and Socialist Labour, Corbyn Labour. I hope this isn't playing tit for tat! Sturgeon has said she would go into coalition and they have 54 seats and you have 3 at the time of writing. Corbyn has said that he wouldn't entertain a coalition but is it because you do not want to play ball with the Liberal Democrats? your arch enemies in Ceredigion and because Kirsty Williams was the pivotal member of the Assembly not to support you in your bid to become First Minister. A Progressive Alliance across the United Kingdom at a time of heightened tensions with Islamic State or a tribal grouping in Westminster hoping for crumbs off the table. You are meant to be the Welsh Nationalist Party but whatever the result tonight, the campaigning for such will be left to Yes Cymru.  the cross party group. I have voted for you this time in Cardiff South and Penarth ostensibly because the incumbent Labour MP is anti-Corbyn. You have said yourself in an interview that the man you would most like to have a pint with is Jeremy Corbyn. Is it because in Westminster you might have to co-operate with the people you are opposing in the Welsh Assembly? Leave Carwyn and his cronies in the Senedd and fight for a strong Wales in coalition with the Progressive Alliance for otherwise your shield will not be strong enough to withstand the regressive alliance of the Conservatives and DUP.
