And then there were five

The obvious inference to be drawn from the Electoral Commission’s post-vote intervention last night is that the “legitimacy” of the Lib Dem AM involved remains slightly dodgy. But does it matter?

Welsh Lib Dems will continue to insist on portraying themselves as the salvation the nation is seeking (if only they opened their eyes) and if question marks persist over the inept role that Kirsty Williams played in the matter then it is not as if she is surrounded by leadership contenders.

What we should be looking for now are signs of whether their more or less stable situation will embolden the Welsh Lib Dem group to enter into those long-rumoured coalition talks.

Yes it matters. The current lack of esteem for the National Assembly will continue until this seedy business is resolved.
