Well they've got my vote.
Oh deer - not enough doe for a really big bang.
Well it's easy to speak in hindsight but would it have been any better with the reindeer coalition?
I expect the rainbow coalition wouldn't have made a big song and dance about it
I guess all parties would have to put out their spin when announcing a budget. The One Wales Government did go a little over the top.
We shall have to wait and see what The Welsh Conservatives make of it over the coming months.
P.S. Thanks Glyn! You are my first politician comment - well, officially at least.
I get the impression that an awful lot of 'anons' are officially working for AMs.
