Tis why I no longer believe in Party Politics. Ceredigion is turning into a farce. Who said what, to whom and when? The Cambrian News affectionately called the 'Cambrian Snooze' have seen fit to rubbish one of the candidates for the constituency on its front page. I'm not going into the details because I can't be bothered. I'm nearly falling asleep writing this. One of the other candidates launched into a tirade on the former but it turns out that he's got a dark and shady past as well. So it looks as if you are going to enter Politics for a Party, along with a fired up ego, you need a squeaky clean past. You are not going to have a squeaky clean past if you want to enter the political realm in the first place. You are somebody, entranced by the dark corners and have found a place where you can mouth off to your hearts content until a keen little researcher from another tribe chances across something you said when you were 3 years of age and had just finished soiling your nappy. The campaign here has now been ruined by some 'home truths'. Things that the 'Welshies' feel, but are not able to say. The Lib Dem candidate, the incumbent sitting MP must be smirking across his bum cheeks today because even though he doesn't speak Welsh, he is the Westminster Elected representative of a constituency which 'er gwaethaf phawb a phopeth' (despite everyone and everything) still has a sizeable proportion of Welsh Speakers. Two of the candidates who do speak Welsh have handed victory to the Lib Dems and handed over some votes to UKIP in the process. As I may have mentioned before I was up here in 1992 canvassing for the Plaid Cymru/Green candidate (Coalition) Cynog Dafis where he overturned a sizeable majority held by the Liberals Geraint Howells at the time. When my Aunty found out, she was not best pleased to say the least as they had a Liberal tradition in the family for years. I was an outsider, coming to Ceredigion to try and foist a different party and 'way of life' upon them. It is different outsiders that have been the topic of conversation in this General Election campaign. Things that the candidates wrote, one for a magazine and one on a message board to do with football. In this election and in this constituency, the old biblical adage from Numbers 32:33 has never been more apposite
"Croeso i ddyfnderoedd fy isymwybod: Welcome to the depths of my subconscious. Shark Fishing in Wales is one man's odyssey to understand the land of his birth through anecdote, observation and reminiscence! By learning about his country, perhaps he can learn more about himself. A process of individuation which Carl Jung suggests we should all go through. Less assuming one nationhood and more working towards one nationhood before we become Independent." Daf Williams
