Lee Waters AM accuses Plaid of Playing Party Politics by Playing Party Politics.

I am not convinced of the argument for a "National" Government either or /both in Westminster or the Senedd.

In both the current government are failing the people of Wales and any National government would still be largely led by those already in place and we need an opposition to point out these failings and to offer alternatives.

Nicola Sturgeon in Scotland seems to be the only one to be providing leadership and whilst she has he critics looks to be streets and days ahead of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Welsh First  Mark Drakeford.

So should the opposition Parties not point out these failings ?

Not according to Welsh Labour AM's.


These aren't straightforward issues. Through this whole crisis Plaid have been seeking political advantage, rather than coming together as a nation. Shame on them.

Sad to say but it is astounding that the First Minister doesn't even know if he has the power to close caravan parks. The Welsh Government is slow and tentative when we need them to be swift and decisive. A serious failure of leadership at such a critical time. #PoliticsWales

. He may as well be invisible. And as
says, just because it’s a crisis doesn’t mean you’re not held to account. If anything, it’s at times of crises that governments are rightly held more accountable!

Shut up Lee. Plaid are as frustrated as the people of Wales at the inaction of both governments. Why didn't Welsh gov forsee the closing of schools would bring people into rural areas of Wales and shut us down. How many deaths will be caused because it wasn't done

You are the government here, you are accountable. If Boris had come out with your 'coming together as a nation' line I'd imagine your tune would be rightly different.

No Lee, through this whole crisis Plaid have voiced the concerns of many Welsh citizens.....remember them? The people you were elected to represent and PROTECT! I don’t doubt it’s hard to govern at times of crisis but that doesn’t mean you are free from scrutiny.

Criticism and opposition, as usual, cast as divisive nationalism and point scoring. Labour will erode Welsh Democracy to the point that even the most ardent indy supporters won't be arsed to fight for it when the abolish referendum comes.

"Making party political points in a crisis is awful, I'm going to explain that by making a party political point"


We are facing a crisis and our governments at Westminster and at te Senedd are failing us with a slow and incoherent .

Mark Drakeford has been given the opportunityto lead us at this time instead we find him not knowing whether he has the powers or is "considering using them".

Instead he simply follows the Westminster pattern and waiting for Boris Johnson to make his decisions for him.

It may indeed be playing party politics to point this out, but that does make it wrong.
