The are calling it the Swansea bounce and for some reason the Sunday Times has become the most read newspaper at the Welsh Labour Conference, currently meeting in the City’s Brangwyn Hall.
Delegates are apparently ecstatic at the latest YouGov poll that shows Labour within two points of the Tories and with a fighting chance of emerging from the General Election as the largest party though not with a majority.
I am not surprised that they are pleased but my reading is that this is not so much down to a sudden embracement of all that is good in Gordon Brown as general disillusionment with the alternative.
There is a long way to go yet before the votes are counted but already this is looking like the hardest fought election in living memory and there is still all to play for. The Leader’s debates may prove to be crucial as will the performance of Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats. Bring it on!
