Cash for Questions and Cash for Contracts - what's the difference?
Many of us who remember the "Tory Sleaze" will have been amazed this week to see the Labour Party surrender the moral high ground and become embroiled in a similar unseemly controversy. The investigation being undertaken by Scotland Yard at the instigation of Plaid Cymru and the SNP is beginning to uncover the extent to which rich businessmen have been buying influence and have been receiving favours in our so-called "democracy". Even the LibDems were embarrassed last year by a £2.4m donation from an American who turned out to be on the run from the Florida Probation service.
Is Plaid any better? Well the Party is congratulating itself on having raised £60k in the past 3 months with none of this coming from big business or organised trade unions but from ordinary people. Plaid can justly claim to be a party of the people of Wales for the benefit of the people of Wales.

Croeso i fy mlog newydd sbon!Dyma lle mi fyddai'n postio pethau diddorol, doniol, dadleuol a phopeth arall sy'n dechrau gyda'r llythyren 'd'! Yn wir, dyma cychwyn ymdrech Plaid ym Maldwyn i ennill y sedd yma yn yr etholiad Cynulliad 3ydd o Fai 2007.
Mae'n fraint a phleser i mi fod yn ymgeisydd dros y Blaid ym Maldwyn ac mi rydw i'n dibynnu'n fawr ar eich help a chymorth. Os allwch chi fy nghynorthwyo mewn unrhyw fordd, cysylltwch gyda fi cyn gynted ag y fedrwch. Yn arbennig, rydw i'n chwilio am unrhyw fath o gyfle llun!
Yn anffodus, gan nad wyf yn rugl yn y Gymraeg, bydd rhai tudalennu yn Saesneg yn unig, ond rwy'n eich croesawi chi i ddefnyddio y ddwy iaith wrth cysylltu รข mi.
Diolch yn fawr, ac edrychaf ymlaen at eich cyfraniad i'r blog.
Welcome to my brand new blog!
This is where you will find information about Plaid's campaign to win the Montgomeryshire seat in the National Assembly for Wales election on 3rd of May 2007.
It's a privilege and a pleasure to be Plaid's candidate in Montgomeryshire and I will be depending very much on your help and support. If you can assist me in any way please contact me as soon as possible. I particularly need a photo opportunity soon!
Thank you very much, and I look forward to your contribution to this blog.
