For Professor Richard Wyn Jones of Cardiff University, Welsh Labour’s 100 years as the nation’s dominant political force makes it the most successful party in the democratic world.
It would be foolish to belittle the scale of such an achievement and Welsh Labour certainly has much to be proud of.
But having a single party in such a position for so long inevitably raises questions about whether such a situation is desirable or somehow diminishes the integrity of the democratic system within which Labour has been so successful. Understandably, Welsh Labour itself is celebrating.
