Rough and tumble

Betsan Powys | 11:21 UK time, Tuesday, 19 February 2008

Why did Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing, Jane Davidson, not want to be First Minister?

Because - she explained to the lobby this morning - while there are people in politics who enjoy the "rough and tumble" of it all, she got into politics and still gets up every day to go to work because of the opportunities she's been given to take on substantial areas of policy and to "change things".

She never wanted to be First Minister apparently so will no doubt wonder whether (or why) she is still on and .

Maybe because lazy opposition politicians and... shock, horror... lazy journalists think it more fun to keep her on such lists even though she's not standing?

Jane Davidson is probably one of the very few Labour AM's that the other parties can work with, which itself is a problem as she is far too nice for the job.

You have all got to believe it Betsan. When Jane says she isn't standing, she really isn't.

Why don't you ask Adam who he would like to stand?

Maybe it's 'cos she knew there was a better job coming up in Cuba now her self confessed 'idol' Fidel Castro has decided to oppress the Cuban people no longer?

Perhaps John Walker can remind us what Cuba was like under Batista and his US allies prior to 1959. Why did Castro lead a 'popular' revolution...he wouldn't have won it without 'popular' support. You want to spend less time listening to these Cubans in Little Havana, Miami.
