Think the least plaid can do of a candidate or a senior party official is ask them.. er do you support the reason we exist as a party? ie to secure independence for Wales.<br /><br />Course you can also reasonably ask why Nigel Copner would join plaid in the first place if he didn't support plaid's fundamental aim? Furthermore he would have known when he joined plaid that it's been a long standing policy of the party that one of the top two on their regionalist list must be female. And when you take into account his views on Brexit also being at variance with plaid's position I feel bound to ask are there any of plaid's positions and policies nigel copner actually agreed with? <br /><br />All in all then it's clearly the best thing all round he's quit the party - particularly as in recent times he was posting items on social media about migrants and refugees you'd expect to see from a ukip candidate. <br />Leigh Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598475954140926742noreply@blogger.com
