As far as I can recall the last Labour Government was led by a Scot with several Scots in the shadow cabinet! Going back further, Callaghan, Foot and Kinnock all Welsh constituency MPs. You can't blame the English for everything.<br /><br />It's worth bearing in mind that UKIP came third in Llanelli with 6200 votes taking a massive bite out of Plaid and the Lib Dems (the increase in UKIP votes was up 13.5% compared to 7% and 8% drops for Plaid and Lib dems respectively).
