As a longtime member of Plaid in Cardiff West i was very disappointed in him when he told me, in confidence, that he wanted the LDP to be approved. And he was clueless about the potential effects of the LDP on traffic until it was pointed out to him by Plaid members who are now very disillusioned with him due to his behaviour.
Does it really matter though? He was alone in allowing residents to express dissatisfaction at a decision they know will be to their detriment. If he catches a little political capital in doing so then all the power to him. Perhaps his opponents could try and focus on making decisions that won't have residents turning their backs on them for decades.
Having spent thousands of hours in McEvoy’s company I am entitled to my opinion. The LDP has passed - and was opposed by the Tories in the council - and now McEvoy is trumpeting his objections. He WANTED this to pass. He WANTED the extra traffic and strain on services so that he could continue being voted in by the gullible Fairwater electorate (and picking up his cushy remuneration for being the Plaid group leader - in addition to his salary as a “Sovereignist” AM).
He will not, and cannot, reverse the LDP. He wants chaos so that he can personally benefit from it. That is what he told me after a “Stop the LDP” meeting in Pentrebane in 2014.
I am a member of Plaid in Cardiff West and am dreading the faint possibility of him returning to the fold.
He is full of hot air but also quite dangerous, in my opinion. A narcissist and megalomaniac. Look at the twitter feed for his “grassroots” movement, Propel Wales. Nothing tweeted for nearly two months after a grand launch and a demand for up to £200 from new members. He is giving Welsh nationalism a bad name.
