OVER two hundred and fifty people are appealing to the Welsh voter for support to get a nice, well paid job in London. Forty of them will be elected as MPs and set off to London at great expense to the taxpayer to do what?

What exactly do these people do for £74,000 a year plus expenses that would not be better done in Cardiff Bay? The answer is nothing! The only worthwhile people standing as MPs are Plaid Cymru – Party of Wales MPs. They are there to abolish their own jobs. Wales would be much better governed by a government elected by the people of Wales in the Senedd in Cardiff Bay than MPs in London. The London Parliament is essentially the Parliament of England. It follows policies and ideas that follow the English tradition of politics. English politics are far more individualistic and class ridden than those of Wales.

Wales has a long tradition of community based politics. We invented the forerunner of the NHS, the panel doctor system. We, as a nation, have never had a majority vote for the Tories. The Scottish National Party is likely to make large gains in Scotland. They will sack all their MPs in the near future and govern themselves. It’s time we in Wales ended this nonsense of being governed by Tory Governments we did not elect.

It is time we returned MPs only interested in serving Wales and not puppets serving their masters in London. Vote Plaid Cymru, the Party of Wales, who in due course will sack all these MPs. Free Wales!
