I was a touch surprised to hear on BBC radio this morning that parties in Scotland were negotiating the future government of their nation… with no mention of Wales, where the same process is going on.
The leaders of the Lib Dem controlled councils in Wales are expressing grave doubts about propping up Labour in Wales:
Welsh Labour leader Rhodri Morgan could ask the Lib Dems to share power after his party fell short of a majority.
But Lib Dem leaders of four Welsh councils say they are all against it, amid doubts raised over the assembly group leadership of Mike German.

Its of little surprise to me.
BBC carried little or no coverage of wales on election night, so switched over to Sky which was much more comprehensive.
I do believe that the BBC considers Wales just another region, whereas Scotland can do a lot of damage to their masters in London.
Call me a cynic but…
I’m unhappy with the phrase we hear a lot about the Lib Dems in Wales and Scotland -as ‘king makers’
Electorally, it hasn’t done us much good in Scotland. Why should we prop up Rhodri Morgan in Wales?
