- Self, Cllr Cheryl Carlisle, Roger Cummins
Disappointingly, the weather has broken today. The barbecue Easter we were promised seems to have gone the way of last year’s barbecue summer.
Nevertheless, the Saturday street market in Colwyn Bay was bustling when I and a group of Conservatives did some leafleting for the No to AV campaign.
I’m pleased to say that we received a very positive response, many people observing that AV was a very contrived method of selecting an MP. If we do win, it will be the straightforward simplicity of FPP that carries the day.
We were joined very briefly by a group of Plaid Cymru campaigners, led by Phil Edwards, a local councillor. I asked Phil where Plaid stood on AV and was told that they are urging people to vote “Ie”.
A little surprising, perhaps, when you read this analysis. Sadly, however, I have to conclude that the prospect of a Plaid wipeout, albeit immensely desirable, is neverthess insufficient reason to opt for a dodgy electoral system.
