Last Night I went the the hustings in Pontyclun for the Pontprisdd Consistency which was well attended and well run perhaps a little bit to much . Well. I do like a bit of an argument
Before hand we were given a brief outline of some of the candidates stand on the issues which were to cone up
So how did they do
Socialist Labour Party
Damien Biggs
Not bad. A bit of a relic of the "Nationalise everything past" but started by rightly blaming everything on the Bankers and attacking the Government Austerity program 6/10
Green
Katy Clay
Sorry to say disappointing well of her brief and completely out of her depth . If there were any undecided voters was the least likely to swing anyone her way 2/10
Plaid Cymru
Osian Lewis
Made his case well and knew his brief . Was sorry to here him use the line "We are to poor for Independence now but work for it in the future" . With more experience will undoubtedly be a excellent candidate 7/10
Conservative
Ann-Marie Mason
Being a former Labour councillor from Bristol may behind her somewhat being confused on Tory Policy her Pro-Frracking stand did not go down well and she came of second best in aa argument with a member of the audience which was the highlight of the evening 5/10
TUSC
Esther Pearson
The candidate did not turm up due to a family crisis . Her replacement however was probably the Star of the night well briefed on Austerity and its causes probably the best reformer on the night so it was ironic he was not standing 8/10
Liberal Democrat
Mike Powell
How are the mighty fallen pushed Labour last time with a swing of 13.3 but last night lost the audience and looked kike a boxer who had one fight to many 3/10
Labour
Owen Smith
Preformed as well as you expect from a shadow Cabinet Minister . His cal for further devolution looked hollow however. With a constant argument to preserve the Union seemed to think Plaid were the biggest threat 7/10
UKIP
Andrew Tomkinson
Did not up and sent no replacement 0/10
So only Plaid, Labour,and the TUSC were probably briefed well enough to encourage someone to vote for them.
But on this it looks like it may be a tussle between Plaid and Labour when it comes to voting
