... the stakeholder eisteddfod,

... in stakeholder Wales, in a stakeholder world.

It doesn't really matter how small the taxpayer contribution is, but for every penny of contribution (for every cent of contribution) we become stakeholders, and as stakeholders everyone should be included.

It's a simple formula, as a taxpayer (and that is everyone) we should expect an equal return on our investment, so the National Eisteddfod if it is to receive any funding from government must become inclusive, and to this end it should be subsumed by a new "Wales Eisteddfod" where the cultures of all the peoples are celebrated, where every stakeholder is able to share their particular cultural niche with everyone.  And Carwyn Jones our First Minister is well placed to lay the foundations for a celebration of everything that is Wales.

I digress ...

In the USA Apple have been awarded an enormous sum as damages from Samsung, but will the little people receive a stakeholder percentage through taxation, or will the damages be absorbed by Apple's offshore tax avoidance vehicles.  Just thinking ..............

Returning to Wales ...

If Carwyn Jones created a new eisteddfod he would become the first to create a cultural celebration for all ... the first to recognise the stakeholder citizen.
