Over the last few days, several people have been asking how I fared in the SNP internal elections. As I explain in the video above, I'm pretty much certain that I've been elected to one of the four committees that I stood for - namely the Conduct Appeals Committee. So that will be a successful outcome, but I don't want to tempt fate by saying anything too definite until I see the official confirmation. I'll let you know once I'm 100% sure it's official. In the meantime, here are some photos of my time at the conference in Aberdeen (and as you can see, I made sure I got in a little bit of touristy stuff because I don't get to Aberdeen very often). I think we were all particularly impressed by the speech from the Deputy First Minister of Wales, Sioned Williams, and of course it was a landmark moment, because although fraternal addresses from a Plaid Cymru speaker have been a feature of SNP conferences since the year dot, this was the first with Plaid as the sole party of government in Wales.
Very good. A 15% chance once every five years is not good enough. Particularly when we know there is a strong likelihood of being fobbed off with a vague promise of 'more devolved powers' (and the likelihood SNP politicians would find that offer attractive).
ReplyDeleteEncouraging to hear the informal information that James has or seems liklely ro have secured a seat on the SNP party conduct appeals sub committee.
ReplyDeleteI hope he has retained his seat on the PDC too. That's where we need him.
DeleteThat is not a strategy, it is a hope, and a forlorn one. We all know what needs to be done. It speaks volumes, in my opinion, that the current leadership are unwilling to do it. It is no surprise really, as J S pushed through a policy at the last election that ensured we have no current mandate based on any form of electoral process. Depressing. I very much doubt the 500,000 are going back to voting SNP any time soon. The usual suspects can spare me their "yoon" nonsense. They are part of the problem.
