Current Situation
Jenkins has hinted that he will contest the Llanelli constituency for the 2007 Welsh Assembly elections as an "independent". At present, the Carmarthenshire County Council website lists Jenkins as "unaffiliated" (to any political group) on the County Council, which as the sole Conservative he technically was before his resignation as two councillors are needed to form a political group on a council but the change of designation indicates Jenkins' resignation from the Conservative Party has been carried out.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or situation:
“It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
“To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
