Welsh Independents
Look out for big gains for Independents in Wales on Thursday. These are often people who have left Labour since it went into coalition with Plaid Cymru, set about privatising everything in sight, widened the gap between rich and poor, cut public sector pay in real terms, waged war against countries chosen at random, and doubled the income tax of the lowest paid workers in order to pay for it. And they are going to give Labour a proper kicking. If that can happen in parts of South Wales, in particular, then it can happen anywhere.
So watch out for zero coverage when this happens in Wales. Or anywhere else, come to that. You'd already have a candidate in every region and be well on the way to one in every constituency if there weren't a media blackout of all non-cartel parties or candidates.
