Well, hopefully you all voted, and voted twice for Plaid. The results of the elections were not entirely unexpected, and Labour lost heavily as predicted. If you will remember Independence Cymru predicted that Carmarthenshire County Council would benefit from 28 Plaid Cymru seats, and so it happened, and was exceeded! Plaid has doubled its number of seats on the council, and has broken the back of the rigid Independent/Labour
alliance which bulldozed through unpopular policies, much to everybody's consternation and anger.
Efforts in Llanelli, Porth Tywyn and Pen Bre were well rewarded with a County Councillor elected for Pen Bre and six PC candidates elected for the town councils.
Other predictions were made a year ago when Independence Cymru foresaw that there would be a Plaid/Labour coalition in the Assembly, and later foresaw an Autumn election (averted at the last minute as it turned out). Independence Cymru of course predicts independence, first for Scotland, then for Wales but at present it is uncertain when precisely these will come into being. Watch this space!!
"The Nineteenth century saw a great Springtime of Nations as the revolutions of 1848 saw new countries created the length and breadth of Europe. In our world today we are now seeing our own Spring Awakening with people and cultures that have long been dormant and subdued asserting their right to exist, their right to dream." Adam Price MP
