Jon Bright (London, OK): Interesting article here by Ordovicius on the Wardman Wire, who analyses three factors which are significant in Welsh voting patterns: a lack of concerted and systematic opinion polling, a tendency of voters to roughly divide into three geographical areas (an argument advanced by Richard Wyn Jones) and the sense that most voters feel they are voting for a 'local', or anti-establishment party. Worth a read.
