Seeing is believing 1:47pm on 02 May 2008 Big news in Rhondda Cynon Taf. Mr Joel James, who is a close friend of mine and the only Conservative candidate standing in the RCT area topped the voting in the Llantwit Fardre Ward by 39 votes.

I can say, free of any political agenda myself that this surely deserves recognition as an outstanding achievement given the political orientation of the area as a whole, but secondly has certainly revived my faith in local politics and its voters. I can vouch for Joel in saying that he has run a positive, tireless campaign making every effort to ensure that the local people a)knew he was there to be voted for and b)was there to represent their voice on local issues that need to be addressed. It's so nice to see that that sort of hard work and commitment is appreciated, because it truly deserves to be.

Some family and friends of mine living in the ward complained to me that the candidates had become "invisible" bar the odd piece of junk mail landing on the welcome mat every now and then. This must surely make Mr. James' victory even more profound; congratulations Joel, you earned it the hard, the best way!
