		Another was that Morgan, who undoubtedly possesses a bizarre sense of humour, pretended not to recognise Blair, a notoriously bad attender at late-night debates, when the then leader of the opposition appeared in the Commons during an all-night session.
		Morgan actually explained why he is opposed to "basing our services on a model of the user of public services as some sort of serial shopper": "The theory of marketisation, when applied to social welfare, turns out to be badly flawed.
		Morgan judges that the needs of Wales can best be met by the creation of a society "held together by a powerful glue of social solidarity" - not a bad working definition of the socialist aspiration.

		While Rhodri stood for the greater autonomy of the Welsh Assembly, the weaknesses of his campaign were very apparent.

	Cambria Interview with Rhodri Morgan AM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Rhodri Morgan, Wales’s First Minister since Alun Michael’s acutely embarrassing and short-lived stay, is known for his radical credentials and his distinctive bon mots.He is also known for his long experience, at first hand, of the long road to devolution which started with the establishment of a Welsh Office in the early 1960s.
		MORGAN: I think it is a mystery as to how the Welsh Rugby Union manages to lose money in a country like Wales, when the Scottish Rugby Union makes money in a country where rugby is not that important, and where soccer is very much the national sport.
		MORGAN: They did, they do - and they are very keen to work with us on improving the profile, and modernizing the image of Wales for themselves and their fellow countrymen and women.

		His great-great-grandfather, Morgan Morgan, was jailed in 1843 following an attempt by his family to prevent the arrest of his son, Henry, for his involvement in the Rebecca Riots.
