With elections in Wales, Scotland and England looming, more than ever people are looking for answers to the severe questions that face our nation. These questions mainly revolve around the shocking state of the economy, and how our world has been turned upside down. It is far too easy to play party politics and heap people with blame for the mess. What we need to do as politicians and voters is question what we do now.
All of the politicians and parties want the same thing: a prosperous economy based on green credentials; a well-funded health service and a vibrant school system. How we get there is the difference! The Liberal Democrats are making massive changes in Westminster. We are a party that has 8% of MPs in the Commons but this has translated to 65% of our party's manifesto in the Coalition agreement! The shocking waste that is the Trident renewal has been postponed in this parliament; pensioners will have their retirement secure with the triple lock guarantee, and the most poor amongst us are being lifted out of income tax all together. We can and must choose our representatives based on what they can get done!
Liberal Democrat principles are at the heart of the national fightback. We need to ensure that in Wales we have similar values based on fairness in the Senedd. Only the Liberal Democrats will ensure that people who need social care are given control over how it will work for them. Only the Liberal Democrats will scrap the £8 million WASTE that is the airlink between Cardiff and Anglesey and only the Liberal Democrats will kick start the Welsh economy by establishing a Welsh stock exchange for the infusion of capital our businesses desperately need!
I hope that in May people vote for change in Wales. As a nation we are NOT better off than we were 4 years ago. In many ways we have stumbled and this has hindered our children and burdened our most vunerable citizens. In May lets make sure we change this!

Liberal Democrat Candidate for the Welsh Assembly in Alyn & Deeside
