the newsthat welsh assembley government is ten years old ths week has been lost mostly due to the continued expenses row.
And at a time when the democratic system in all its forms is under scrutiny and posssibly in jepordy there is really no point in celebrating a 'talk shop'.
Mostly because of the news that 1 in 3 children in wales is living in poverty.
Because of the failure of the capatalist system this is likely to continue for the forseeable future.
Investment is needed in social housing and in the poorest communities and the disparity between the poorest and the small elite wealthy is as great as it was ten years ago.
With the liklihood that the euro elections may suffer from the expenses scandel this would add to the notion that there are too many forms of government that are not making any difference to the people who need the help the most.
