AM joins the Conservative
Just thought I would update you on some welsh politics. Former Labour AM (assembly member) Alison Halford has joined the Welsh Conservative Party. She became an AM in 1999 after being former Assistant Chief Constable of Merseyside Police, but retreated from front line politics in 2003.
This is a wonderful development to the elections next year and she will be assisting Shadow Secretary of State for Wales Cheryl Gillan MP on policing matters, including the Home Secretary's decision to merge the four Welsh police forces. She is also helping Nick Bourne and David Melding on policy development.
It’s nice to hear some good news after some of the negative media responses we have been getting (reference to the Newsnight poll that suggests we may LOSE seats in the May elections). My only hope is that others will follow suit. She said that “Labour has lost its way badly. They have become known as the party of sleaze and weasel speak as power seems to have worked its corrupting influence.”
In Wales especially, one can see that Conservatives are going to do really well in 2007! At last.

Personally I am always highly sceptical of those people who change party's for these reasons:
1. They must have been incredibly stupid to be in the wrong party in the first place, and then take so long to see the error of their ways.
2. They're moving to become a spy within the new party, and they haven't changed their views at all.
3. Or most worryingly, they have betrayed their previous party, what's to say they won't do it again?
I'll add a link to your blog from mine at some point.
