Welsh LibDems Take Fire at Their Leader
Mike German is the leader of the LibDems in the Welsh Assembly. For the moment, at least. His colleague Peter Black is making quite clear who he blames for the lack of a breakthrough on his BLOG.

Ego-Black knows he stands no chance of a cabinet job under the current Lib-dem leader.
Its posturing of the worst kind.
Black is happier to go into bed with radical nationalists and far right tories (Darren Millar AM) because of his all consuming dislike for the current leader.
A Lib-dem, Plaid, Tory coalition would be a wetdream for Labour in Wales, come on Peter, just do it.
Lib-dems in Wales only have 6 elected members yet they will be king makers. By rights it should be the Conservatives as they, at least, won fair and square and- bar Millar- they are a very good bunch of people. Bloody PR.
If any of you- including Iain- have a heart, post a 'good luck' message on the blog of one Conservative Assembly Member in Wales who lost his seat on friday.
Glyn Davies AM battled with Cancer for some time and has survived. He won many people's repect and, to top it all, he is a bloody good bloke and a thinker too.
Glyn will be deeply missed in the Assembly (I'm Labour to the core btw) and I wish he had not lost his seat.
Black at least realises that simply propping Labour when the electorate voted for a change is untenable.It may be that a rainbow coalition is incapable of agreement but if the effort is not attempted the Lib Dems will be seen as an irrelevant Labour saving device.
