Keeping up with the Jones

Do you think there's a double standard criticising the spread of second homes in Wales and owning a second home in France?

Some questions for IWJ...

"Why has your party ditched independence as a frontline committment? and do you accept that even you must concede there is scant public support for an independent Wales? If you honestly believe Wales will thrive as an independent nation, why are you not pushing for it more explicitly?"

"Do you believe that for any proposed new Welsh Language Act will have to have 100% compulsion to fend off accusations it is tokenistic? Without compulsion is it essentially guidelines?"

"What does collective cabinet responsibility mean to you?"

"What do you say to the people who voted for you that you havent exactly 'kicked new labour into touch'?"

"Do you believe an independent Wales will be better off in economic terms then as part of the union?"

"Why wont you tell the electorate your preference between the two coalitions available to you? Do you believe it is fair that you are now part of a government we dont know if you explicitly supported?"

Haha. In your paper this week you talked about Alun Davies, and then said:

Labour’s only other new member is also in Mid and West Wales, Joyce Watson. Nobody knows anything about her.

Ahem, you seem to have forgotten about Lesley Griffiths.

Also, you reckon Peter Hain is backing Andrew Davies to succeed Rhodri. You've clearly never spoken to Peter Hain about this.

Thanks for the question suggestions, as well as those who e-mailed them in (meaning Plaid's crack press team don't see them in advance...).

And yes, I did forget about Lesley Griffiths. Easily done.
