Cardiff Central is now a (relative) Lib Dem stronghold with us safely holding both the AM and MP and Lynne and Jo are both up against Labour next time in areas where there is little prospect of a leapfrog. If that were the reason for keeping them out, one would have to wonder why Sarah Teather, Jeremy Browne, David Heath and Susan Kramer are in.

I suspect they need more time to concentrate on that. I thought the exit of Paul Holmes and Andrew Stunnel was harsh, and disappointed that Evan Harris is not back in. In fairness to Evan, he may be happy where he is on the science select committee. The good news is that Norman Baker is back in.
