I was very impressed with Plaid's Spring Conference this weekend. The mood was upbeat and positive, and virtually everyone I spoke to thought that Plaid had made a huge step forward by electing Leanne as leader ... and was now set to make huge steps forward under her leadership.
This was her first speech as leader:
Much of what will appear on this blog will also appear in the Syniadau Forums, but the emphasis on this blog is slightly different. The forums are focused more on the structures and institutions that Wales will need to develop in order to become a successful independent nation, arranged on a subject by subject basis, but the blog will have more of an emphasis on day to day political news and developments.
People are welcome to reply or leave comments either here or on the Syniadau Forums. If anyone wants to initiate a new subject they are very welcome to do so there.

I was also impressed by Leanne's performance from the platform and think she will continue to confound the pundits. Many of whom are still stuck in lazy stereotyping of the Rhondda socialist. I sense Leanne's leadership will be far more collective than in previous years and will succeed in going beyond the normal cliches of the left.
This might be considered trivial or sexist, but Leanne needs to get a hairdresser to sort that bit of hair that falls over her eye that she then flicks back, it is annoying and off-putting and distracts from her message.
That was a darn good speech. It's a shame that everyone in this country of ours couldn't hear it all.
Well done, Leanne, an excellent start!

But still off putting and a distraction from the message MT
Had the opportunity just to listen to this in full, like the proposal for a training levy on companies, we used to have a system of training levy and grants that funded training and training development in companies, it worked well but was disliked by those companies that benefited from trained employees but did not training themselves. Would really like to see this restarted.
