I’m at the Conference centre, charging the battery on my laptop, which means I am straining to listen to the SNP guest speaker on a feed in the press room. I am taking part in a fringe meeting with Shelter Cymru on the housing challenge for Wales very soon. I am pleased that the child poverty and IVF treatment motions were passed successfully so that we can continue our campaigning as a party.
The conference dinner was well attended last night. George Monbiot was engaging, knew his audience, and was obviously popular in his support for Plaid Cymru, and the strengthening of devolution.
He said that an English parliament was needed to give the people of England a voice where Westminster has failed, and mentioned the f word- federalism on a few occassions! All very interesting stuff, but I will await the Monbiot driven campaign for an English Parliament….
Right, I’m off to take part in the fringe meeting.

Instead of pushing for a ‘federal’ Britain… why doesn’t Plaid do what the majority of nationalists in the country want and put your energy into promoting a fully independent Wales?
What’s the point wasting a vote for a ‘nationalist’ party when you don’t even want to see the country as a nation?!!
