A number of Plaid watchers like ourselves will understand the exasperation by Bethan Jenkins over her party’s fixation with Adam Price. Whilst you can speculate whether her comments should be sourced back to her press and political officer, it was nonetheless time for someone to challenge the misguided view Plaid has been so diminished by the loss of key (i.e. media friendly) figures in May’s Assembly elections that its only hope of resurgence lies with the “prince over the water”.
Bethan’s spokesman however can rest assured that no-one seems to have interpreted her comments as a leadership bid or even took that possibility remotely seriously.

This the same political officer that wrote.
", what I find utterly ridiculous about socialism is that it always seeks to address a complex problem with an even more complicated solution. And usually an unworkable one that goes against basic human behaviour."
Then this.
"Anyone who wants to blame our economic worries on Dick Fuld, Bob Diamond (whose remuneration is nobody’s business but his own) and Steve Eisman ahead of our own gargantuan problems is living in cloud cuckoo land and frankly should stay out of the debate."
It seems odd to me that a political officer who works for Plaid's left wing tribune, should sound like a New Labour clone absolving the corporate crooks who ripped everyone off as not culpable.
And though Bethan's post was right, it did have the smell of self serving about it.
