The Assembly is full of second-rate half-wits that couldn't make it at Whitehall, but instead, they're here in Wales, where no matter what they do, they'll always get elected, and they're never going to be held to account. You only have to read this thread, to see that even after all this time, a lot of people still don't blame them for anything. How do they keep getting away with it?
You don't think the huge scale closure of manufacturing industry in Wales under the tories in the eighties and nineties , ravaging the economy had anything to do with the current problems ?

You don't think the decision to hive out social care to private companies , Conservative policy is anything to do with it ?

The trains were privatised by the conservatives ......is that the fault of the labour led Welsh assembly ?

The benefits system , keeping the poor , poor ........controlled by Westminster........led by the conservatives most of the time ..........is that the fault of the labour led Welsh assembly ?

You don't like the labour led Welsh assembly

Would you prefer a conservative led one ?

I wouldn't and the good people of Wales don't either
