When you posed the question, I replied here in the Chamber, and also on my blog, and you’ve questioned me on that since the publication of the article. And I was entirely clear at the time that I have a vision for the future and I have a vision of a different government in Wales—a model that devolves power from this place, and you and Plaid have—. I have heard many speeches from Plaid Cymru on that subject over the years, and now I'm proposing that. I am proposing devolution from Cardiff bay to Denbighshire, Anglesey, Caernarfon and even to Bangor. And I am holding that discussion with local government, and also beyond local government, because too frequently we talk about government as if we, the Members, and councillors, own it. I think it is the people of Wales that own the way that we govern, and not politicians.
