Haven’t seen this anywhere else but Welsh Icons has the story a few days ago of Welsh political bookie Karl Williams making the former Labour Welsh Secretary and now Plaid Cymru candidate the favourite to win the seat in next year’s Assembly Elections.
This is the full article ‘The combined vote for Ron Davies and Lindsay Whittle as the Plaid candidate in the last Assembly election would give the former Secretary of State for Wales a comfortable majority of “several thousand”.
Karl Williams, who specialises in political forecasting, has calculated that Ron Davies is odds to win in Caerphilly and distinguished BBC Welsh Affairs Editor
Vaughan Roderick said in his online blog that “this is one to watch”.
Ron Davies, who gave the news a cautious welcome, said today: “I have a fantastic reception throughout the constituency since being chosen to stand for Plaid but these are very early days in the campaign.
“It is clear that Caerphilly s a two horse race and Labour is in disarray in the constituency.
“I want to get the message across that Labour failed us when they were in charge in Wales and Westminster, and effectively opened the door to let the Tories back in to power.
“Plaid will always put Wales first and as we get this message across I am sure we will build on this promising start.”
It would certainly be coup for Plaid Cymru but Labour will fight hard and dirty to keep the seat, we haven't got long to wait to find out.Any source
