I put this along
side The Greasy Poll by Mike Parker on the bookshelf – both being
detailed reflections of election campaigns in Wales. The interface
between Welsh and UK politics being a key part of the dynamic.
It is, for a
political geek, an interesting account – but the most significant
thing it reveals is the number of campaign events that are attended
by the party faithful and the press. The “public” even in the
midst of a hotly contested election are generally getting on with
their lives elsewhere – better things to do than worry about who is
running the country.
