There no reason not to believe BBC Wales’s translation of what former Plaid Cymru MP Adam Price said on S4C’s political programme CF99 last night but if he did say the "lack of skills amongst politicians is making it difficult to tackle big economic challenges" then I and many other people will agree with him.
Wales's big economic challenges need bold, brave and politicians willing to challenge the status quo, qualities that neither AM's or Welsh MP's are blessed with to be fair.
Adam is also reported as saying ‘"The gap between the problems we face in Wales and the skill-set of the people we're drawing in to politics is huge", now for some his comments might be treason especially with Plaid Cymru Ministers now part of WAG, but it’s not exactly a new or particularly controversial thing to question the skill levels and quality of AM’s. And guess what if you listened closely enough to conversations in Cardiff Bay you might actually hear politicians and staff say much the same thing, but sadly the issue never seems to be addressed by the parties.
In fact my only issue with what he said is if this is what Adam really thinks then why didn’t he put himself forward as a candidate for next year’s Assembly election so that the Assembly could benefit from someone of his experience and stature if he was elected?Any source
