I will never vote Conservative

I will vote for an electable left of centre party that has a social policy background on issues like transport , the NHS

In Wales we have a strong Labour vote that can deliver some sort of social conscience to the modern age

So I will continue to vote for it even though it needs sharpening up

But UK wide its burnt beyond recognition

And in 20 years I can see either the tories still in power or a UK wide left of centre alternative

The opposition vote to the tories used to be propped up by Scottish and Welsh Labour, the Northern towns and inner city London

Now thats up for grabs

I can and hope Welsh Labour survives and a social alliance party brings everyone together in England who doesn't vote tory and they can team up

My opinion is if this doesn't happen the country will be forever tory

And fringe meetings and tony benn t shirts will gather dust
