It’s incredibly irritating to read Rhodri Morgan’s ‘insight’ in his weekly columns for the Western Mail on a range of important matters that are affecting Wales, such as making the most of medium and long term economic benefits to Wales of hosting of the Ryder Cup, electrification of the London to Swansea rail line, improving Wales GVA and laying the foundations for next year’s Welsh Assembly referendum, because until last December he was still Wales First Minister and has been for a decade and should have making sure that these things were being looked at, at the very least.
The fact that he is now free (as a backbencher) to say these things and is not being challenged by the other parties or the media to account for his obvious inaction at First Minister on all these matters and worse still in some cases being applauded for raising the issues, speaks volumes about the unhealthy political culture we have here in Wales and the rose tinted ‘legacy’ that Rhodri Morgan continues to enjoy among the great and the good and the wider Welsh public as the ‘most popular politician in Wales’Any source
