It seems that if people were offered the choice of more powers for the assembly then they are less inclined to go for the Independence option.

Even if you were to take 14/15 as a low base  it must produce some head scratching at Plaid's head quarters as to why  they can't increase their share of the poll amongst those who would like to see the assembly have more powers. 

Plaid should be aming to get the vote of about 50% of the vote of those who want more powers and be on a base of over 20%

One of my very firs Blogs was to compare Devolution with the Old Trans Cambria Bus root here and commented that not every may want to go the entire distance of the journey but they can share the Bus for a while.

I am not saying that plaid should put independence on the Back Burner  and concentrate on more powers for the assembly. Far from it.

But there's no reason why it can't do both they may even find some who have joined up for part of the trip realise that they would after all complete the journey.
