Deep-seated differences of opinion exist, as we witnessed in discussing a draft report on unmanned aerial vehicles at a spring session of the assembly in Tallinn.
But the appetite for compromise has grown blunter since the assembly elections last spring in which the party won only 28 seats, half of those obtained by unionists.
The idea was launched in a UK government tourism strategy, which promised to consult the Welsh assembly on whether it should have the power to move the spring bank holiday from early May to March 1.
