icNorthWales: Imagine Labour winning and Blair losing his seat

SENIOR Plaid Cymru figures last night backed an audacious bid to challenge Tony Blair at the general election.

Detailed plans were being kept under-wraps but the aim is to link up with disillusioned Labour supporters and a celebrity candidate to oust the prime minister from his own Sedge-field constituency.

One of the brains behind the plan is Carmarthen East and Dinefwr MP Adam Price.

…

Mr Eno is the only household name linked to the plan.

It’s a nice warm fuzzy little dream. You’ve got to hope they’ve someone a bit more prominent than Brian Eno, though. While Eno made some lovely noodly ambient music a while back and was in Roxy Music for about five minutes, I doubt very much if he’ll inspire Sedgefield voters to turn out and help him knock Tony off his perch.

Unless he killed himself during the campaign.

Just who would be popular enough to bring Blair down, I wonder? Nick Knowles for the lonely housewife of a certain age vote? The one that looks like a thumb from McFly for the just-come-of-voting-age knicker-wetter and the lonely housewife of a certain age vote, perhaps. Maybe they could tip Jack Straw a few quid and get him to rush through a passport for Martin Sheen.
