The count is underway.
On my way - not to the Dylan Thomas Suite where the votes that will elect the next leader of Plaid Cymru are now being counted - but to the balcony outside.
There's a lock-in in the room itself, something Dylan Thomas would, I'm sure, have appreciated.

At least Plaid are democraticaly electing the new leader by the members themselves in the open.Because I remember when I was in a Union at work my membership was used to elect the leader and I wasn't even a member or supporter of the Labour Party. Now theres Democracy at work. The Tories well you just vote and vote and vote oh and the MPs get a seperate vote. Very democratic.
