It’s really fun reading all the pundit-babble on Rodders’ imminent exit, apparently gained after talking to insiders who clearly haven’t a clue themselves. The same applies in touting a replacement as journos past and present imbue their sources (or each other) with the possessiion of insights unavailable to mortals. Yet it’s all guesswork or else a quick dip into a copy of the rulebook for a bit of authenticity.
As for stitch-ups, slates and all the other usual quid-pro-quo arrangements that make up internal party politics, such preparation is entirely necessary to ensure that the winning candidate is uniquely equipped to preside over a broken landscape littered with dashed hopes and depressed individuals – and they will be running Wales as well.
