Scotland’s First Minister and SNP leader Alex Salmond has been nominated for most influential left wing thinker of the year and he may or may not win – but the fact he was nominated at all got me thinking. Scottish like Welsh politics is dominated by left wing politics, so would any current Welsh politician of any party make the list for most influential left wing thinker of the year?
I’m doubt even former Welsh First Minister and Labour leader Rhodri Morgan at the peak of his power and popularity would make the cut for a list like this and that tells its own story about the quality of leaders and the differing influence of Wales and Scotland's political class have on the wider UK political and policy debate.
