Election day -Early morning start....

Just arrived back fom distributing ' Good Morning, vote Plaid twice' cards in Swansea West. I didn't mind getting up early as it was a lovely morning, and I wasn't sleeping too well anyway! I have a distinct feeling that the Lib dems and Labour were out as well. ( although Labour were probably just targeting their own voters- can't have taken long then!!..)

Excellent Plaid advert on the front of the Evening Post today as well. The party centrally has really sharpened it's act. Let's hope we can continue this momentum after the election, especially if there is a snap General election, and Council elections around the corner! They've really worked hard at HQ, I have to say.

I'm going to get ready to go out and vote now, then to help out in Neath, where Ted Jones the Plaid blogger thinks that we are in the running to win. I must say we've had an excellent response on the streets in Neath, but I couldn't possibly call it one way or the other. We've worked solidly on the campaign for over a year, and it would be great if Alun Llewelyn could beat Gwenda 'out of her depth at the Assembly' Thomas.

I would also love to predict a Plaid win for Aberavon, as our candidate Linet Purcell is exceptional. She is forward-thinking, keen, is able to communicate Plaid's message effectively, and can win over new supporters in a matter of minutes with the excitement and pleasure that she shows in taking part in the campaign. There is no comparison between her and a dull Brian Gibbons. Support on the streets here have also been very very good.

I'll try and blog later on as well, and give some thoughts on the whole election and how it's gone.

I'm also keeping a keen eye on the Scottish elections, and have already made sure that I have text alerts for Clydesdale and Cumbernauld, where two of my SNP friends are standing. It should be a very eventful night in Scotland, that's for sure! Let's hope we can emulate that here in Wales!

Sunny Swansea

I'm not going to write much today, just stopping by after leafleting in Swansea West today with our candidate Ian Titherington. Another gloriously sunny day in Swansea it must be said. My sunburn is turning in to a tan, so thankfully I don't look like a beetroot anymore.
Supposedly it's going to rain on Tuesday, which I hope will stop the other parties from getting out canvassing!!

Didn't realise that my blog on coalition would create such a stir yesterday ( I'm not sure why I didn't expect it, mind you!) It's totally ironic, that in my bid to say, 'come on people, let's stop talking about coalition', my blog managed to be spun as a total anti Tory blog, and re-opened the discussion about coalition prospects post election- which I did not intend. Ah well, there we are. If I must be vocal, that is what I should expect, I suppose!

I'm going for a meal tonight in Swansea. I desperately need a break from canvassing and leafleting, or I will lose my mind!

Enjoy!
