I have always been interested in Politics, politically active even.
I have most of my life tended towards the left, being on the left of Plaid Cymru. I had a rare old time during the miners strike and of course was quite involved with opposition to the poll tax.
Back in the 90's I had a bit of a crisis of conviction. This coincided with parenthood and moving to West Wales. I didn't lose my views, if anything the years have made them stronger.
When a young (well, younger than me anyway) woman called Leanne Wood decided to stand for leader of the Blaid it was enough to spring me back into politics. I rejoined Plaid Cymru. My daughter Bethan and I went to Ammanford to see her launch her campaign. Bethan spent a little while talking with Leanne and is leaving the labour party to join Plaid.
Of course there was another meeting locally where we got to meet the local branch. The upshot of that was Bethan and me both being recruited to stand in the council elections in may.
Against this socialist backdrop there is a full on game of monopoly in going in the living room. Gwion has so much money he has just refinanced the bank!!!!
