Rumour is that Rhodri Morgan will not be standing down as First Minister and Welsh Labour Leader until his birthday meaning that none of the prospective candidates to succeed him can declare officially or openly campaign until the autumn.
This means that we will have a summer with Welsh Labour in limbo and possibly mourning too following the European elections, waiting for a new direction. It also means that Rhodri’s successor will not take office until right at the end of the calendar year.
Despite this there appears to have been a new awakening amongst potential candidates. Carwyn Jones was in Caerphilly earlier this week talking about creating silicon valleys in South Wales. Now he has launched a blog and this time he promises that he will be writing it himself.
