Ou est René?

Ever since Rockin’ Rene withdrew his intention to see an elected mayor installed at Swansea, the erratically mercurial tory councillor has become far less prominent on the local political scene. Of course, his inability to get an Assembly candidature is probably one of the reasons but a recent change of day-job is also said to have kept him away from his adopted city.

Less charitable souls suggest the Mayals councillor is still sulking over his group’s refusal to back his call for a referendum and there is a talk of him lashing out at the local press over how the subject made the headlines – although he seemed happy enough with the coverage at the time.

Sources ‘close to the tory group’ claim to have been told that Kinzett is likely to be dumped stand down next month. It would be a shame if such a move transpires as his sparky style is one of the few bright spots in a very drab local political debating scene. However the demise of his blog – along with the ThinkPolitics website – has left those who follow his Twitter exploits wondering if the man is headed for the Smoke for good. We await developments.
