Oh no, they've thrown away their chance of winning it then! :)
Seriously though, I wonder how the disenfranchised Tory vote will split
(as if it'd make any difference)!

And this one is a two horse race. Although every vote counts in the N
Wales list only me and Rod Richards have a realistic chance in Clwyd
West.
Plaid and Lib Dems need to consider who is the more acceptable
candidate.

Is there a desposit in the assembly elections and what is the min. voted needed
to save it?
WRT to your site:
1) Should it have an imprint?
2) "The UK election in May 98"????? Eeally, I expect better from Millbank.
3) There was no "Lib" candidate in Clwyd West in 1997. There was however a
Lib Dem.
4) Plaid and Lib Dems as "minority parties"? What is a "majority party"?
Certainly not Labour or the Tories as neither polled over 50% in 1997.

Depends which list they are on. See
http://www.election.demon.co.uk/welsh97.html for how the list seats would
have been allocated on the basis of 1997 general election votes.

:-) it would be pleasing if this was true - but in reality even
now I think that they could scrape together 5% of the vote in
Pontypridd.

I'll grant you that you two are the most likely front runners in this
race, but don't discount the opposition so lightly. Should we only
have contests between two parties in any one seat? A bit undemocratic
I think.

Thier own I'd imagine.

I am surprised at this revelation in Pontypridd as I have Susan Inglefield
listed as the candidate. That comes directly from David Boothby's election
site too! Below follows my analysis of the Pontypridd by-election of 1989
which I submitted as part of my Modern Studies dissertation. I do not for
one second expect that the result on May 6 will be identical but it does
perhaps give us a better sense of the constituency:
The Welsh Nationalists have been vying with the Conservatives for
recognition as the second party of Wales. Their claim was substantiated at
Pontypridd in February 1989 after a by-election caused by the death of the
sitting MP.
The opportunity for Plaid Cymru to win was growing even before the writ for
the by-election was moved. At the last round of elections to Taff-Ely
Borough Council, Plaid Cymru held 9 out of 37 wards in the constituency. The
early indications of an opinion poll in the South Wales Echo showed that for
the first time in Wales, local council and Westminster preferences would be
roughly the same. This immediately increased the Nationalists ratings
fivefold. The strong local base in the Pontypridd area was certainly a key
element of the Blaid’s surge.
It also seemed to newspaper readers in Wales that Plaid Cymru were putting
so much pressure on Mrs Thatcher’s Government that Wales was benefiting.
Indeed, a leaked Cabinet paper confirmed that the Llanwern steelworks was to
be located in Wales to see off the Nationalist threat . Key aspects in the
campaign centred on the delayed opening of the new district hospital in
Taff-Ely, the Poll Tax and the controversial construction of a new bypass.
On these issues, the Nationalists campaigned hard for the floating and
disillusioned voters and those who had voted for them at a local level.
At the declaration, Plaid Cymru achieved what they previously could only
have dreamed of in east Wales. Previously they had been identified as “a
cult refined to West Wales and the Welsh-speakers”. This result established
them as a threat to Labour in the Valleys as well. However, at the 1992
General Election, the party’s vote was down from 25% to 9% and then to 6.5%
in 1997. Whatever challenge was mounted in February 1989, it was soon
quashed and normal voting patterns were reinstated. It would seem from this
that Pontypridd wanted to send Mrs Thatcher and Mr Kinnock about South
Wales: it was not to be taken for granted and must be listened to. However,
when the fate of the nation was at stake, the constituency did not want
Labour to potentially lose power because of one seat.

fair point - changed it.

Hmmm - not as minority as (say) the nat laws but that doesnt disguise
the fact that clwyd west is indeed a two horse race. It's Rod or me. Lib
Dems and Plaid members may well vote tactically to stop Mr Richards very
own brand of right wing extremism in the constituency ballot.

Which is, off course, unlikely to be anything like the list vote for
awarding seats in the Assembly elections....

Mid Wales. I would of thought Plaid would pick up two list seats in the North
(due to their position in Ynys Mon ,and Caernafon and the Libs in Mid wales
due to their position in Mid wales.
What does the panel think?:)

Since Llanwern was built in the late 50s and had been running for quite some
time before the By-Election discussed here, I suspect that this should have
read 'Llanwern Steelworks was located in Wales to see off the Nationanlist
threat.'
Incidentally, I wonder what impact the closure of Ravenscraig, Llanwern's
sister plant, had on the SNP vote in Motherwell. I visited the site just
after its closure, and what must have been a rough area to begin with was
absolutely devastated. In fact, I think that Motherwell at this time was
worse than anything I've seen in the valleys.

This is very probably the case, but this sentence was attributed to an
article from the South Wales Echo so either they got it wrong, or I
mis-read.

Motherwell & Wishaw was a slight anomaly in 1997. There was a swing from the
SNP TO Labour of 0.1&. OK, hardly anything to shout about but the
redevelopment of the area has been slow to come and the pressure has not
been taken off this constituency that is about 3 miles up the road from me.
The current majority in M&W is 12791, meaning that the SNP require a swing
of 17.5% to take it. I expect the majority to decline probably on average
with the rest of the country but it will still be a Labour stronghold on May
7th unless the catastrophe in North Lanarkshire Council knocks the Labour
candidate, Jack McConnell, for six.
Incidentally, McConnell is a huge Blairite and formerly general-secretary of
Scottish Labour at the last election, and there was a massive fight between
him and a TU person, I forget the exact details but I'm now re-evaluating my
projection as I read this...a 10% swing to the SNP? That's a very uninformed
and rough forecast! Feel free to chip in!

Are the following candidates designated as such on the ballot?
If they are elected, are they counted as Labour electees for
purposes of allocating the regional seats?
If they aren't counted as Labour, then isn't this a violation
of the pledge not to run under shadow labels?
And if they are counted as Labour, but on the ballot as Labour/Co-op,
won't this confuse or deceive voters, especially those who might
otherwise split their two votes?

Though she is listed as the #4 candidate in South Wales Central.

I presume that they will use the Red Rose logo. Other than that I can
not comment.

[snip list]
On my website, the candidates list for regional list seats includes
a reference to the constituencies (if any) they are fighting.
The address is http://www.election.demon.co.uk/welshcand.html

As far as I know, Labour and Co-operative candidates appear as such
on the ballot paper. If elected they count as Labour members. The
Co-operative Party was separately registered (no. 2) on the list of
political parties but presumably the register takes account of the
agreement between the Labour Party and the Co-operative Party, and
registration was simply to prevent candidates falsely claiming to be
from the Co-operative movement.
