Just seen the upload of Edwina Hart’s Labour leadership campaign video- I ‘hart’ Labour- (yes we saw what you did there Edwina) on the most excellent current affairs site Wales Home
You really need to view it to take in its breathtaking awfulness. A selection of AMs declare their support for Edwina and the reasons why she would make the best successor to Rhodri Morgan.
In an age of the blogosphere, social media, twitter and so on, is the sum total of the imagination a 42 second advert set to the most funereal guitar track you’ll hear this year? I love Edwina’s directness, candour and integrity- doubtless the intent here- but someone is advising her very badly if they think that a badly shot, badly lit badly edited youtube clip is the future of political campaigning. I know this is just the start but if this is the benchmark then Huw and Carwyn will scarcely have to break sweat to improve. Im hoping this race will be full of ideas, content and debate. So far, its proving far from it…..
