Haha.As another poster pointed out, Plaid are a good vote even if you don't support their policies, as there is a chance that they could become kingmakers for a future coalition, with a price low by UK standards, but high in terms of impact for Wales.

Would you care to explain why we'd be in debt?Plaid don't have enough MPs standing to be able to have any sort of significant impact on levels of government debt, should they decide to increase levels of debt. It's not really a legitimate concern.

We are already in debt. Plaid and many others policies mean more debt, more interest charges and therefore less to spend on services.Can you explain how their policies mean more debt? I don't understand.

I think they're right about the debt. Invest in jobs first, create more wealth and then pay the debt off easier

Can you explain how their policies mean more debt? I don't understand. You can also increase public spending by raising the amount collected through taxation, which could lead to a fall, rise or exactly the same amount of debt as an alternative that doesn't seek to increase public spending.

If you like their policies and their politicians then you should vote for them. In the short run it will encourage mainstream parties to steal their ideas and in the long run it will give them a better chance of getting into office.

Can you clarify what has happened to the UK's debt levels under this current tory regime? And I still don't agree with you. It is perfectly timed for Plaid as build up to next May's assembly elections, and if, as I hope, Plaid force their way into a coalition with Labour, do you really think that wouldn't increase their clout with the electorate? They would still be in power during the next general election, and if Leanne and her couple of Plaid Ministers were doing a good job in the public's mind, that would definitely make a difference to they vote yield in the next GE. We need an alternative to Labour in Wales, and I can't see any other party ever making a real dent.

Baker, like Ray said, more votes for them in this election will only further legitimise them for the next one. Our next one of course is next year, where I'm hoping a couple of Labour seats turning to Plaid ones will lead to another Plaid/Lab coalition, where they can keep Carwyn and his cabinet on their toes and force them to be better. Currently, there is very little genuine scrutiny in the Senedd. Could do with Leanne shaking things up. In my constituency of Cardiff South and Penarth, Plaid had 4% of the vote in the 2010 election. They are not going to win the seat in a few weeks time. It doesn't matter how much I like their policies, my vote will simply be wasted and have no bearing on anything.

As far as I'm aware the three other major parties have all signed up to giving the Welsh language legal parity with the English language. If you want to support a party that wants to get rid of the Welsh language then you probably need to vote UKIP or even BNP/National Front.

This whole thing about a wasted vote for any party is ridiculous.

1. Unless 1 vote decides the entire election then if you want to be petty about it then your vote will always be wasted, as the result would always have been the same had you stayed at home.

2. How can you 2nd guess what other people may or may not do? Don't see why you should vote for your 4th favourite party purely because you think other people may vote for them- it doesnt make sense. Look at Scotland- SNP won 6/59 in 2010, they will likely win 54/59 in 2015. They are overturning massive majorities.

3. Our electoral system is outdated- prove it by not voting for one of the big 2, if you play the game by supporting them then it will always stay the same.

Finally, if you vote for the party you are most comfortable with to represent your individual constituency then I absolutely guarentee you will leave the polling station with your head held high- regardless of the result.

The majority of the governent bonds are owned by insurance companies and pension schemes. They use them to back the payments to pensioners.Balls. Refuse to pay them. Nothing they can do about it. Without interest payments we would balance our budget, and without debt the government, which has control over the issue of money could ensure enough was issued to cover it's expenditure. Fugg the capitalists and the chains with which they bind us.

Plaid would indeed be a good vote if you want debt, debt and more debt and more of this countries money going on our debt payments than the health service or the police or benefits or anything else.
Would you care to explain why we'd be in debt?
It's like someone having massive credit card debt, then ignoring all the warning letters that the bailiffs are on route and taking out a loan to go on the piss for the weekend whilst convicting yourself that it'll be alright
Which banks are we in debt to? And how many army divisions do said banks have? Let them whistle for their money and let's use the army for something more useful than beating up people with a different colour skin to us.
The majority of the governent bonds are owned by insurance companies and pension schemes. They use them to back the payments to pensioners.
They are seen as safe because the uk has never defaulted on debt. This means the uk doesn't pay high interest rates in the debt it issuesWhat about all the people who've got pensions in these schemes?

There would be no need for private pensions. We could afford a decent state pension for all.

It's mainly the older generations who are so against Plaid. Who were always told what to do and shafted by Westminster, but were too cowardly to stand up to it! Do you think Wales can be more prosperous if independent from England?

I couldn't possibly say as I have nowhere near enough knowledge about economics. However, I would like us to have more control over what happens in Wales, yes. I believe that the people in Wales (whatever their background) should have more control over where money is spent here etc.

Are you on a windup? Where do we get the money to pay for a state pension?I say we take a sharpie and draw a zero after the 5 on every £5 note. That way we'll all have 10x as much money.

We live in the real world not fantasia. Thingshave to be paid for and that money has to come from somewhere.Or work harder and you have more money. And if you can work clever.

Whichever way people vote, I really hope we begin to think about how we stand on our own two feet in all facets of life and not just rely upon handouts from Westminster.Build Gold mines from Barmouth to Snowdonia. Legalise marijuana production, supply and and sale, legalise magic mushrooms, especially for medical research. Harness tidal energy and aim to make us solely powered by renewable energy. Offer massive incentives for international research students to make Cardiff Uni top in the world for all medical based shenanigans. Build some supreme buildings. Build the most beautiful airport in the world betwixt Newport and Cardiff. Knock Newport down and either start again or possibly just not bother. Build state owned gyms and mini colleges everywhere and financially reward those on benefits that use them, build more schools, offer financial incentives to the toppermost teachers to work here. Downsize the valleys by means of mass accidental genocide.

We are already in debt. Plaid and many others policies mean more debt, more interest charges and therefore less to spend on services.Personally i would rather a party thats very existence is simply to serve Wales rather than a party whos very existence is just to hang onto power like a desperate drunk in a storm.
