Election Tour 2017: Supporting local business
There are still 10 days to go before polling day, but the growing popularity of postal voting means that most of those who are likely to vote have already done so.Percentages will vary from ward to ward, but it is safe to assume that people who request postal votes are more likely to vote than those who haven't. The result is that for the rest of this campaign, candidates are chasing the votes of probably only 15% of the voters in their wards.
This may help explain why Tegwen Devichand and Jeff Edmunds have started campaigning outside their own wards, and have now popped up in Five Roads where veteran Independent Jim Jones is defending Glyn ward.
Standing for Labour is Stephen Donoghue, who not long ago left Plaid to board Captain Corbyn's sinking ship, while Plaid's candidate is John Williams. There is also a Tory, James Hogg.
There are no local opinion polls, but nobody in their right minds is expecting Labour to take back control of the county council after 4 May, and the likelihood is that they will be reduced to a small rump. The only hope, and it is now a vanishingly small one, that they have of getting back into power is in coalition with the Independents.
Llanelli Labour's tactics in this election seem almost to have been designed to ensure that nobody, least of all the Independents, will want to go anywhere near them after 4 May.

Something which should annoy all voters are the meaningless claims put by so many candidates on their election material - and yes, all parties are guilty.
Someone once said that an effective test for bullshit is to insert the word not in a sentence. If the result is something nobody would ever say, then you are being served up with a fresh, steaming pile of manure.
"I will stand up for my community", is the classic.
Closely followed by "I support local business".
Here is Labour's leaflet in Tumble:
Perhaps if they had used a local printer, rather than one in Essex, someone would have pointed out to them the Welsh on the leaflet in this strongly Welsh-speaking area is full of mistakes, including the spelling of the name of the village:
Incredibly, there are even more errors in this text than have been underlined.
It is perhaps significant that the word "respectfully" has not been translated into the Welsh text.
