Most importantly however for Carl Sargeant's chances of pushing his measure through the Senedd, Plaid Cymru's Ynys Môn Leader Bob Parry, and members of his group, also spoke passionately against the Welsh Government's proposals. Ieuan Wyn Jones told the Daily Post today in response to the news that both the Welsh Conservatives and Lib Dems will oppose the move, that he was "in discussions with Plaid councillors on Anglesey to consider a response". Now that his local councillors have clearly shown on which side they are on, will Ieuan Wyn Jones listen? And if so will he join the Welsh Conservatives and Lib-dems in blocking these proposals in the Senedd?
So, to help Ieuan Wyn Jones make up his mind, here is a ready reckoner of who is now for and against Carl Sargeant's proposals:
Against:
- The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA)
- The Welsh Conservative Party
- The Welsh Liberal Democrats
- All Independent councillors on Ynys Môn council
- All Plaid Cymru councillors on Ynys Môn council
- At least two of the five Labour councillors on Ynys Môn council
- A clear majority of Ynys Môn's town and community councils
- The former Plaid Cymru National Chair, John Dixon
For:
- Carl Sargeant
- The Welsh Labour Party (presumably, though Labour members in the WLGA unanimously voted against the proposals, as did at least two Labour councillors on Ynys Môn)
- Holyhead Town Council
Those who apparently can't make up their mind even three weeks after Carl Sargeant made his announcement:
- Ieuan Wyn Jones

Have you emailed him to see what his views are?
here's an idea - let's give up hearing about Ynys Mon council's infighting, sheer incompetence and ineptness. Abolish it toute suite and save us some money. It should never have been brought back into existence in the first place and should have remained part of Gwynedd. I for one am sick of the whole thing. Stop banging on about it, it is an embarrassment
Perhaps not quite the response you expected. Indeed, it seems few share you view or the views of this local council.
Local public officials worry about being in local public public office. To be in local public office to serve, to serve themselves, to serve their friends and, occasionally, to serve their constituents. Nothing more.
Why should the ordinary citizens of Anglesey care about such matters. We have got the commissioners, we don't need any more public officials, local or otherwise!
