Bollocks to that!!
Too true
How much of a say should Wales have?. We are 3 million in a union of over 60.
I am sure the north of england would like the devolved powers we have. They get the rawest deal out of the union according to return per head.
The tide is turning and people are realising labour rule for all eternity really has done very little for south wales. Maybe they will remain in place but at least now they are on their toes.

We might finally get a decent opposition.
Just sums it up. Such choice. Black or white. Red or Blue. Neither of which will truly represent you.
It's like watching La Liga. About as arbitrary as well.
The call for nationalism comes from those with the blood of Owain Glyndwr pumping through their veins. It's just a shame that none of it reaches their brains.
Wales gets the MPs it votes for. The same as every other region in the country. The problem with Wales is that there are too many safe seats. Those that are marginals tend to be between PC and Labour or Lib Dems and Tory. There are very few seats where it is a straight contest between the (current) two major parties.
Plaid got my vote in 2015 because they were coming up with policies that weren't centralised on the ridiculous notion that we as a "nation" can go it alone. Wales has no industry, no service sector, is heavily reliant on jobs created by central/local government and has the one of highest rates of low income earners in the UK. In 2011, the average wage in Wales was below £20,000.
If that were the case then the perceived "higher" earners would be on about £28,000. Plaid would have no option other than to tax people earning that decent (but not fantastic) wage 40% taxes reducing spending parity and crippling businesses.
Perhaps that is why Wales never votes for Nationalism, the electorate are perceived to be "stupid" but maybe they know exactly what is what.
Alternative = Boris Johnson, Farage, Brexit, bigotry, international rep for beings (even bigger) kynts etc etc.
You're United Kingdom is a farce. Move on. Move forward. On your own two feet.
As Plaid only got 12.1% at the last election it doesn't look like the Welsh are keen on independence.
Tories are, for some reason, shitting themselves about the Lib Dems. PMQs was full of weird digs at them about bin collections and fly tipping and nearly every question asked by a Tory was from someone in a marginal Conservative seat.
They definitely see no threat from Labour and probably rightly so.
Thinly veiled "Tory's f*ck pigs" post IMO
It's such a shame that there are no 'genuine' alternatives

You are United Kingdom
In the valleys labour wouldn't even need to put anyone up for election.
Just plonk an empty chair at the local hustings and people would side with it.
Because the Lib Dems have said their election campaign would be built on stopping Brexit. There's potentially 48%+ of the electorate up for grabs....
Imagine the shitstorm if the Lib Dems won
There couldn't be any complaining, democracy and all that. Shame it won't happen though.Imagine the shitstorm if the Lib Dems won
the plot thickens
Let June be the end of May
rapier wit and devastating repartee
Who would you like to see replace her?

A proper socialist Labour Government although Corbyn is not the right man but he is better than that God awful woman
[QUOTE=Pearcey3;4734851]Corbyn would be a disaster as he has proved time & time again that he is incapable of leading the labour party, never mind the country. If elected he would not even be able to appoint the best cabinet as some of his most talented MP's do not want to work with him which has resulted in 2nd rate politicians like Diane Abbott getting a top job in the shadow cabinet. Notwithstanding the fact that I don't agree with some of May's actions & policies, if I had to choose between her & Corbyn, then it's May every time for me. If the polls are to believed then this election could be a blessing as it could see the end of Corbyn & labour can then elect a decent leader who can take the party forward & be a real opposition to the tories for the next 5 years
[QUOTE=Pearcey3;4734851]No he really isn't
[QUOTE=Alfonso Perez;4734855]The problem with that is we will have five more years of seeing the NHS wrecked, state schools starved of funds, more homeless, more targetting of the disabled with further welfare cutbacks etc etc. Is that a country you want to live in?
