Mr Bairn Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Bit harsh if her own party didn't even vote for her. The SNP aren't diddies, m12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 That would be risky and could backfire. Voters don't like being forced to vote again only months after a national election. They could blame Labour for the challenge. This. Labour shouldn't be touching the mere possibility of another election with a 10 foot bargepole. The #scenes would be outstanding if they do force another one and lose a few more seats as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 They're not about to have another election so I'd imagine this was meant as a wake-up call and a chance to get one right up Labour. I enjoyed the Presiding Officer saying "What do I do now? " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Much like the "you'll never get a majority" thing in Scotland, it seems that whoever came up with the Assembly plainly never thought it would be anything other than a Labour echo chamber and so the matter of what to do in a tie simply never came up. Fucking imbeciles. From the looks of Welsh Twitter right now, it seems most of Labour's lot there are Hothersall-esque brain trusts as well.

Sooky Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 BBC reporting that two UKIP AMs, Nathan Gill and Mark Reckless, are preparing to back Carwyn Jones in next week's repeat vote. Bit awkward for Labour after everything they said yesterday about Plaid having UKIP support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Reckless as in the bloke that was a Tory MP who defected to UKIP then lost his seat? That Mark Reckless? He's still a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he then moved to Wales purely to get into the Assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 It's worth remembering Labour don't need a deal with or the endorsement of any UKIP or Tory AMS. One solitary abstention is sufficient. Abstentions on First Minister votes have been common at Holyrood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in 2007 there was some speculation that the Libs and Cons would vote for Jack McConnell but in the end they just sat it out and allowed Salmond to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Yup. I remember in 2007 there was some speculation that the Libs and Cons would vote for Jack McConnell but in the end they just sat it out and allowed Salmond to win Aye.. 200 votes in Millport won it for the SNP.

Rest is history Will be remembered as a watershed day for centuries to come 48 votes.
