Will the last person to leave the Senedd tonight switch off the lights?

Well, ok, the 大象传媒 office in the Senedd. And that'll be my job.

Downstairs the Neuadd is still jam packed full of technicians, unravelling cables, putting up their lights and rostra. Tomorrow night the Wales 60 party will be in full swing and the polls will be about to close.

Wandering about the Senedd this afternoon I bumped into a government press officer, musing over what his boss will find when he makes it back to Cardiff Bay (when, not if - loyalty you see). The offices have been stripped, paperwork gone, walls bare - ready for the next lot. A bit of a shock, he said, seeing it like that - concentrates the mind.

Names have been removed from doors, (probably stuck in a drawer somewhere), waiting for the announcement of the next cabinet. And that's where you come in of course.

So, off to do one more stint tonight and then - it's over to you.

The big question tomorrow is whether Labour or Plaid tribalism will stand in the way of a genuinely progressive partnership for a programme of government between Labour and Plaid. I would favour this rather than having to rely upon the prop or perhaps more accurately the truss of Lib Dem support in the form of a coalition. I'm all in favour of the cut and thrust of party politics but I think in the context of Wales the electorate would rather like a more cooperative approach.

Cywilydd Mair - ac maen nhw wedi cael y neges hefyd.

In the last fortnight i have not seen one candidate or party representative on the campaign trail in Nantymoel or Ogmore Vale. I think my Assembly representatives name is Janice Gregory but I couldn't say for sure as I've never met her or any of her campaign member's.I normally vote Labour but as their candidate couldnt be bothered to knock the door, or any other candidate from a major party, my wife and i both voted Independant in the hope that he might be bothered to work for his money.

Even though not officially declared I'm delighted to hear about Helen Mary Jones in Llanelli.

After the narrow 21 majority for labour last time I've been on a guilt trip because, I am working away in North Wales, and didn't organise my postal vote; I was begginging to have a waking nightmare of a majority of 1 and my no vote, no voice could have swung it.

And in those terms it does prove that all our votes are worthwhile and the people of Wales and the UK should always make the effort to vote.

Some countries don't have the luxury, we are lucky.

Llanelli exile in Prestatyn!
