In case you don't already know, the Western Mail is carrying out a rating of all AM's this week, and Wales Elects 2007 is doing the maths on what party gets the best ratings.
Currently, Plaid are in the lead, and that's got to be a boost before the election! What's also good to note is that in comparison to Labour's female AM's who are unfortunately rated as low as 2, ( Irene James of Islwyn being one of those!) Plaid female AM's are currently doing rather well, I must say.
Plaid's Helen Mary Jones has been rated 8 out of 10, Elin Jones 7 out of 10, Jocelyn Davies I believe is on 6, Janet Davies on 5.

Although I would agree with the Western Mail in saying that many of the Labour female AM's are total nonentities, I would say that some of the male Labour AM's who have had fairer scores than their female counterparts are equally as ineffective.
Women often have a harder time of it in the world of politics, but it's great to see Plaid AM's up at the top of the scoreboards. Let's hope that the others can keep this level up, and give the men a run for their money!
