Llanrwst, Melin y Coed, Betws, Nebo, Capel Garmon and Ysbyty Ifan were the destinations today.  The response was excellent.  The theft and damage to our posters, each and every one on private land and erected with permission, has badly damaged Plaid.  On one Llanrwst estate there was a single Plaid poster and three for me.  Capel Garmon resulted in fourteen people at home of which 11 were solid Conservative pledges.  These figures were replicated in Maes yr Eryr, Melin y Coed and Nebo where we had a 100% canvass (but to be fair only found five voters!).

However, the Conwy Valley is claimed by Plaid as their stronghold.  Not so, it was a personal vote for Elfyn and not Plaid from what I can see and the status of Elfyn has fallen in a dramatic fashion due to the exposure of his tax free food claim – even in Ysbyty Ifan an upset voter noted her displeasure at his claim to be whiter than white.  It was also shocking to be told in Ysbyty Ifan that they had yet to see the Plaid team.  Where are they?

The evening session saw the team in Llanrhos and Conwy and again a very pleasing result.  All to play for in the leaders debate but it’s increasingly clear that in Aberconwy some parties who have claimed to be in the race have failed to even reach the starting post.
