OCTOBER'S I.C.s - ADRIAN MASTERS

*
Being away for much of the summer seems to have mellowed the previously hyperactive presenter of Wales’s main political programme Dragon’s Eye, Adrian Masters. I don’t doubt the adrenalin will kick in again before long and the interruptions will start flying again. Here, for now, are his interruption coefficients for October:

11/10 Bethan Jenkins Plaid Cymru 0.7
11/10 Alun Cairns Conservative 0.7
25/10 Jeff Cuthbert Labour 0.5
11/10 Peter Hain Labour 0.3
25/10 Jonathan Morgan Conservative 0.3
11/10 Cheryl Gillan Conservative 0.2
18/10 Dai Lloyd Plaid Cymru 0
18/10 Nia Griffith Labour 0
25/10 Ann Jones Labour 0
25/10 Jane Davidson Labour 0


His average I.C.s for each political party in October are:

Conservatives - 0.4
Plaid Cymru - 0.35
Labour - 0.2


Add in his other 9 interviews since records began (totalling 19) and this gives us striking super-averages of:
*
Conservatives (6)- 1.35
Lib Dem (2) - 1.15
Plaid (3) - 1.0
Labour (8) - 0.48

This strongly suggests pro-Labour bias, but more results are needed to confirm this.
