I live in Cardiff North, its not a particular area where "Play boys" go down well. What is he doing in Cardiff North? Publicity or not, your normal working bloke would have been a better selection. Don Hulston, who sadly passed not so long ago polled very well in the last assembly election. I can assure you now Sir Dai will not poll over 1200 votes. I would happily help out the party as the message is their, but not for someone who I think isnt really bothered about the people of Cardiff North.

Labour Candidate Sophie Howe, went to Whitchurch High School, lives in Whitchurch and has done for a while.

Conservative Candidate Jonathan Morgan went to Whitchurch High School, lives in Rhiwbina and went to Cardiff University. Like them or not, these people are far more in touch than Sir Dai Llewellyn.

Local candidates are always good, Sean, but I'm betting the press would have ignored them... :roll:

Sean I think that you are missing the point here, you are of course correct about local candidates.

However the fact remains that we had approximately 60 words tucked away in the Western Mail reporting on our manifesto launch here in Wales.

In the last two days we have had 3 full page spreads including the entire front page of the same Western Mail, all concerning Dai Llewellyn and publicising our party.

Titles or playboys don't impress me in the slightest, however its meat and drink to the press who are desperate for an interesting angle to break the monotony of reporting on the gormless nonentities who infest politics.

Thus the name of the party gets unprecedented publicity, as per Kilroy, a complete and utter idiot who due to his TV show gave the publicity to the part required for success.

We are not going to win Cardiff North regardless of who the candidate is but Sir Dai is getting us the publicity that could get regional candidates elected.

Point taken, hopefully we can manage 1 seat.

Hmm... :?

Typical really, maybe Roger will update it today (As he said the list of candidates will be posted today)

Alex, everyone knows you.

The list of candidates is up but I have been asked not to publicise the itinerary of town centre canvassing to prevent them being hijacked by the opposition.

I have tried contacting Dennis a few times in the past few days and have had no answer.
I've just been to the listed town centre canvassing and all I found was two people in UKIP badges as confused as I was, there was nothing to do with UKIP in sight. No candidates, no canvassing.

There were mobile phone numbers next to the organiser of every activities name on the list of events expressly for the purpose of making sure that supporters could find out what was happening in the event of a missed rendevouz.

Weren't there contact details on your list?

Not a mobile number, a landline which had no answer.
