Now we know that Alun Ffred Jones has been drafted in to take over the Heritage ministerial portfolio, someone new should now become the Plaid group leader at the National Assembly from within the current group of AMs on the backbenches, in my view. I’ve ruled out any of the Ministers or Dafydd Elis Thomas as Presiding Officer, so I’ve created a poll to see who you think should lead our group on the backbenches. My name is included, but for the record, I wouldn’t want the job at this stage of my career. Neither would I get it!! After all, it will provide said individual with a good political platform, and a chance to establish a strong team of Plaid AMs on a scrutiny, backbench level. So get voting!
update- I’ve been informed by the party chair that there’s nothing in the standing orders which requires a new group leader, but I think personally that we should have a leader from outside the Ministerial team.
Another update- the correct term for the poll should be the Deputy Leader. I am sorry for the confusion.

Nawr ein bod ni’n gwbod bod Alun Ffred Jones wedi cymryd y portfolio Gweinidogol Treftadaeth, mae’n rhaid i rhywun newydd o fewn grwp ACau y Cynulliad cael eu penodi fel arweinydd y grwp yn y Cynulliad. Dwi ddim wedi rhoi un o’r Gweinidogion na chwaith Dafydd Elis Thomas fel opsiwn yn sgil ei rol fel Llywydd y Cynulliad, felly rwyf wedi creu pol i weld pwy da chi’n meddwl dylai arwain y grwp ar y meinciau cefn. Mae fy enw i yn rhan o’r rhestr, ond dwi ddim yn credu fy mod i moyn cael fy mhenodi yn y fath swydd yr adeg yma yn fy ngyrfa, a dwi ddim yn credu fydda i’n cael e hefyd rhywsut!! Wedi’r cyfan, mi fydd y swydd yn rhoi llwyfan gwleidyddol gwych i un o’r ACau, a siawns clir i sefydlu’r grwp fel tim cryf ar y meinciau cefn. Felly pleidleisiwch!
diweddariad- dwi wedi cael gwbod gan gadeirydd y Blaid nad oes dim byd yn rheolau’r blaid i ddweud bod angen arweinydd newydd i’r grwp, ond dwi o’r farn y byddai’n dda cael rhywun o tu allan i’r grwp Gweinidogol i gymryd y rol penodol hwn.
diweddariad arall- y term cywir ar gyfer y pol yw dirprwy arweinydd y grwp. Sori am y gymhlethdod.
