Is anyone else dismayed by this?

I know £1.5billion (highest estimate) is a lot of money (roll the "we need to spend more on doctors/nurses/hospitals/teachers/schools" line than most people peddle on newpaper responses), but seriously think what this could do for not only Welsh sporting infrastructure but puting Wales on the map.
Both Manchester and Glasgow made a huge success of the games, wrapping it up in wider regeneration works that I think would greatly benefit Cardiff (let's face it, Cardiff is the only serious contender).
Wouldn't it be better to go for it and send out a message that we're ambitious and open for business rather than crawling under our rocks because some of use in power didn't like the referendum vote?
I think irrespective of whether or not you agree with Labour's social policies etc., it's about time Wales had a government filled with people who have drive, ambition and a positive vision for Wales. I don't see anyone of that ilk in Labour, every one of them has this "we're too small, too poor and too stupid" attitude. Everything is in the too-hard basket. I'm amazed parts of the Metro still appear to be going ahead with those Muppets in charge.
