I didn't like Alun Michael but even he would be an improvement to these two.
I also agree it's a shame Rhodri Morgan is no longer with.

I don't know anything about Jeremy Miles.

But I don't have a vote anyway.

I quite like Drakeford

No-one is perfect.

I do too. He doesn’t always get it right, but he isn’t self serving, and he genuinely cares I think. I don’t know enough about the two candidates abilities or otherwise to comment.

I still miss Rhodri Morgan to be fair.

Neither fills me with any confidence.

I think they’ll be no improvement on Drakeford.

There are two candidates for the leadership, the other one is the current Minister for Education, Jeremy Miles.
Here’s the information about the process.

It’s going to be close I think.

I hope not.
Please will someone else step forward?

He says that experience would stand him in good stead to be first minister, but he has also been criticised after admitting he had not read key documents relating to pandemic planning.

And broke Covid rules himself.

Mark Drakeford (69) steps down as First Minister for Wales this Easter. This man came second to him in the voting in 2018. Looking him up on Wiki he is 49, and was health minister between 2016 and May 2021, overseeing Wales' initial response to Covid.

He says that experience would stand him in good stead to be first minister, but he has also been criticised after admitting he had not read key documents relating to pandemic planning.

Any of our GN community know of him/fancy his chances? I admit I only became curious about Drakeford’s successor because of today’s Covid Inquiry session and became curious.
