The good news? Elin Jones has been voted AM of the year in the Wales Year Book Awards. She is, say the organisers in the Western Mail, 'a Plaid Cymru heavyweight' and it praises her 'highly competent running' of the rural affairs department.
The bad news? It's not that Elin is good full stop but, say the organisers, rural affairs 'is not usually seen as an obvious portfolio for a woman.'
Tell that to the thousands of women who run farms, make cheese, do the accounts, take sheep to market and so on. And why should a portfolio be more 'obvious' for a woman politician - does the Wales Year Book really think women are only suited to portfolios that include babies, sick people and cooking?
