Am glad to see David Melding repeating his previous calls for the Welsh Conservative Party becoming a new, independent force to lead a broader-based movement for the centre-right in Wales.
His views expressed in an excellent Wales Home article and further outlined on the BBC, are well thought out and in the best interests of those who support Conservative Party principles in Wales and indeed are in the best interests of Wales as a whole.
As I've advocated in previous posts here and elsewhere, Wales needs a more pluralistic polity and one in which a centre-right party has a decent chance of forming a coalition at the Senedd. Without radical change and a shift of power away from a London-based party constitution and the establishment of a pro-Union but separate party in Wales, I fear that Labour will not face a credible direct challenge as the primary party of government in Wales.
Instead of dismissing these ideas with rallying calls to defend the Union, those opposed to David's ideas within the Welsh Conservatives need to engage in a sensible and thoughtful debate that thoroughly examines the real threats to the Union and properly assess the new party solution as the real saviour for Wales' place within the UK.
