Q&A with new Lib Dem AM William Powell

By | Sat 4th June 2011 - 12:55 pm

Over on the BBC website, William Powell, a newly elected member of the Welsh Assembly, has taken part in a Q&A to introduce some of the new AMs elected in May.

Here’s a sample:

Why stand for the assembly?To be a strong liberal voice for Mid and West Wales, including the old Liberal heartlands in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire

Most frustrating thing about your first week as an AM?Negotiating the maze of corridors in the assembly buildings – no prizes for my orienteering so far

What’s your poison?Whipping Tree Ale, best-selling ale from the Rotter’s micro-brewery in Talgarth

First record you bought?Max Boyce – Live at Treorchy

Last book you read?Things Can Only Get Better by John O’Farrell – a poignant reminder that all politics is cyclical

There’s more over on the BBC website here.
