Whinging for Wales?

Conservative Assembly Member, Andrew RT Davies was very forthright on Radio Wales’ ‘Called to Order’ on Friday night accusing Plaid Cymru of “whinging for Wales”. Whether one would agree with that verdict or not an item in this morning’s Wales on Sunday ‘Spin Doctor’ column does give pause for thought.

The columnist asks whether it is true that it only dawned on Plaid Cymru last week that they were devoting so much of their time to complaining about not being involved in the TV debates that they weren’t actually speaking about anything else? He says that the broadcasters are obliged by law to give the Nationalists a certain amount of air time in proportion to the big three parties, in terms of their representation.

‘Last week, we hear it suddenly occurred to the party that their complaining about the debates counted towards their time, and they’d not really talked about anything else.’

Actually, we had been hoping that they might not notice that at all.
