The Mother Of All Parliaments Is Having A Nervous Breakdown. Another Reason for Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland To Move On

Hello there. Hope you're feeling well today.

Let us be clear about the battles raging within the Conservative party at the moment over Brexit. We are watching a nervous breakdown in action. Arguments, counter arguments, resignations, cliques, cliques within cliques, plotting, whether there'll be a no confidence vote in Theresa May/her EU deal/her government.

Never has the Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times" been so appropriate.

So when the crunch came the Conservative party has proved that they do not have the competence to manage. I'm sure that British business, who the Tories often sight as an example of how we should run our affairs are actually writing case studies of the organisation in relation to how not to do it.

And yet here they are. Still, for the moment at least, the British government.

The argument for the United Kingdom has always been that the Union is stronger together. But when Scotland and particularly Wales as I've discussed in this blog are in the back of the queue where Westminster are concerned.

After all this EU withdrawal agreement which has been the cause of the controversy doesn't mention Wales at all.

Still there is Secretary Of State for Wales Alun "Chucky" Cairns blathering on about a "precious union". No union is precious when one side is controlling and abusive.

(And as a quick aside using a word like "precious" unless referring to a jewel or a new born baby is creepy)

So how can this government which cannot control itself control Wales?

You might say Labour will sought it all out. But as I've said before whilst people in Wales might vote for Corbyn in the hope of getting the Conservatives out. Should Labour be seen to fail, as they are already doing in the devolved administration and local government then independence will be set back on the agenda as the only option left available.

This why whilst the next general election will need to be fought tooth and nail Plaid Cymru will need to prepare (assuming a Corbyn victory) for the election after that be it on Westminster or Assembly level. Because that's the election where independence can be brought towards the voters as the only remaining option where all other roads have been shown to have failed.

Until the next time.
