Plaid Cymru conference 2014: Plaid and Green Party discuss electoral pact
Ceredigion candidate presses parties to put ‘bad blood’ behind them

TALKS are underway between Plaid Cymru and Green candidates that could see the revival of an electoral pact that collapsed in the 1990s, the Morning Star can reveal.

The Greens won representation at Westminster for the first time in 1992 when Cynog Dafis won Ceredigion on a joint Plaid Cymru-Green platform.

Now Plaid’s popular candidate for the same constituency wants to revive the alliance to kick-out Lib Dem MP Mark Williams.
