Swansea World

Having written once or twice about what looks to be a tightly-fought contest over Swansea West in the looming general election, we were sort of puzzled at the lack of activity by the candidates.

But we see that Lib Dem Peter May has launched his election website and a glossy magazine entitled ‘Swansea World’. It’s a well produced and a surprisingly readable publication – although we should have expected nothing less given his printing background.

We wait to see if Rockin’ Rene Kinzett and the tory election machine have anything equally eye-catching by way of a response in their campaign to capture the marginal Labour-held seat. Anything would be better than his disappointing blogsite.

Update: Whoever wins better make the most of it, for if Lib Dems at Westminster have their way, then the number of MPs in Wales will be slashed significantly. The effect of their plans in our immediate neck of the woods would see the single seat constituencies of Aberavon, Neath, Gower, Swansea East and Swansea West coalesced into a West Glamorgan constituency returning just three members, each elected by single transferable vote.
