I have been so busy soaking up the Election intrigue over the border I have not been keeping up with what has been happening in my own backyard.
There looks to be no worries for Labour in Wales, as the core support for the party seems to be holding firm unlike the turncoats in Scotland. The latest poll a week or so ago admittedly before the Welsh leaders debate shows Labour on course to gain two seats Cardiff Central from the Liberal Democrats and Cardiff North from the Conservatives. Also, remember to take these polls with a pinch of salt never take anything for granted.
The Conservatives may lose a seat to Labour but are predicted to regain a seat by taking Brecon & Radnor from the Liberal Democrats. It will be a rough night for the Liberals if the polls are right and could be left with one seat in Wales for the Westminster Parliament. That is on course for the rest of the country where they are going to be the biggest losers on the night. It is a bite touch and go if they can hold on to the one seat.
The Welsh nationalists are not in the ascendance unlike the Scots but Plaid Cymru are predicted to hold on to the three seats they presently have. UKIP out poll both the Liberals and Plaid Cymru but that will not result in them winning a Welsh seat. Who knows what the next Welsh poll will bring? Exciting times with the clock ticking down to voting day.
