interesting but Dan (whose questions are usually excellent) seemed to go very easy on him... there are several inconsistencies to his arguments...

Not sure that's fair, Dan put a lot of the fears about hate crime etc to Rob. I have no time for centrists who think Brexit is the only issue but I found his answers very unconvincing-I'm saying that as someone who had some sympathy for Brexit during height of Greek crisis.

CP position is that a (truly) federal uk of equal nations is the best option; also states that plaid & the snp aren’t really nationalist parties, and that the federal uk option is in fact more radical/progressive than what plaid are advocating

He and the communist party are pro Brexit & so disagree that Brexit will have a negative economic impact on wales
