Adam Price
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Adam Price (born September 23, 1968) is a politician in Wales, and Plaid Cymru member of Parliament for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr. He was elected to Parliament in the 2001 general election. He's openly gay and he lives with his partner Ceri, an architect.
On 25 August 2004, Price announced his intention to begin a process of impeachment against Tony Blair, with the backing of all Plaid Cymru and SNP MPs. Impeachment has not been used in the UK for one-hundred and fifty years. If successful, it could see Blair tried before the House of Lords.
On 17 March 2005 Price was ejected from the Commons chamber after accusing the Prime Minister of having "misled" Parliament and then refusing to withdraw his comment, in violation of the rules of the House.
On 5 May 2005 he was reelected MP for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr with an increased majority (17.5%).
