  1. Is pleased the Welsh Lib Dem vote share increased in Wales yesterday
  2. Is still campaigning hard, it's time to get out and vote!
  3. just been on Daily Politics show - happy because at last we're getting the chance to talk real European issues (and a bit of expenses!).
  4. @politics_cymru Yes, this is a great new medium. Forces us candidates to give short, snappy, understandable answers. After June 7th...#ldtv
  5. @politics_cymru Yes. This election gives the LibDems the best chance we've have ever had. Our supporters sense this & are working hard #ldtv
  6. @politics_cymru I think that Lib Dem voters are keener to vote than most, so I don't expect low turnout to be our problem #ldtv
  7. @politics_cymru Closer to 30% I would think and that's a real shame because the elected MEPs won't have a strong mandate #ldtv
  8. @politics_cymru Some voters will stay at home, but many are determined to back strong open-minded people and parties #ldtv
  9. @politics_cymru The message that we depend on other countries and cross-border action does resonate with people - better than before #ldtv
  10. @politics_cymru Europe invests heavily in Welsh economic development - more jobs. Also Europe has cleaned up our air and water quality #ldtv
  11. @politics_cymru I think people are aware that the EU is important, but they don't really know the details. They want to know more #ldtv
  12. @politics_cymru Obviously fellow Liberal Democrats in UK, and throughout Europe - there were about 100 in the last Euro-Parliament #ldtv
  13. @politics_cymru I have been involved in researching and advising those who influence EU decision-making as an academic for 30years #ldtv
  14. @politics_cymruThere is a specific job to be done representing Welsh people to the EU institutions. I have the experience for this #ldtv
  15. @politics_cymru Not really. People are relieved to discover I have a normal job so can't be involved in the scandal from Westminster #ldtv
  16. @politics_cymru Hi there! The campaign is going really well. Lots of enthusiasm from supporters. Good interest from the general public #ldtv
  17. @politics_cymru hello, few tehnical probs but i'm here and ready to start
  18. Will be campaigning in Merthyr Tydil later on
  19. Was in Ammanford this morning at Abaca but is now in Pembrokeshire with the National Park - on Wednesday I'm on AMPM, BBC Wales at 12:45
  20. Alan's news is.. ALDE calls for end to procrastination on Lisbon Treaty: The Czech Senate fina.. http://tinyurl.com/p2j9wp
