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:
“This is no argument against teaching manners to the young. On the contrary, it is a fine old tradition that ought to be resurrected from its current mothballs and put to work...In fact, children are much more comfortable when they know the guide rules for handling the social amenities. It’s no more fun for a child to be introduced to a strange adult and have no idea what to say or do than it is for a grownup to go to a formal dinner and have no idea what fork to use.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“The ex-Presidential situation has its advantages, but with them are certain drawbacks. The correspondence is large. The meritorious demands on one are large. More independent out than in place, but still something of the bondage of the place that was willingly left. On the whole, however, I find many reasons to be content.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
