"Once in a generation a politician emerges who stands alone in ability. A politician with visionary ideas and perhaps more importantly, the ability to transform ambitious concepts into a reality."
These were the words on a Plaid Cymru leaflet describing Adam Price ahead of the 2016 Senedd election. It went on to describe Mr Price as an "X-Factor politician" who has been "labelled by some the Mab Darogan prophetic son of Welsh folklore".
Adam Price went on to win the seat for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr and became Plaid leader just a couple of years later. However fast forward to May 2023 and he has resigned having admitted that, under his leadership, a toxic culture was made worse leading to what a damning report described "a failure to implement a zero-tolerance approach to sexual harassment".
