Plaid are trying to use this information to spin that they are somehow distinct from Labour in order to attract votes on May 1st. It probably also shows that Plaid are getting worried that they will make very little progress in May. Given the low poll ratings for Labour and the disillusionment of many traditional Labour voters Plaid should normally be confidnt of making major gains in a number of valley areas where they have previously controlled the council.If they fail to do this then this will see the splits increase as they realise that for most Labour members the coalition is a marriage of expediency not principle. Talk to any ordinary Labour member and you wil soon find that it is a minority who believe that a referndum before 2011 is a major issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
