Adam Price has been a massive let down so far.
Got ripped a new one by Drakeford a few weeks back for calling him a "fool it liar"
Price is always looking for a big word or hard hitting comment.....thing is his audience is small and just wants simple and easy to understand.
No need to be rude. |
He was being built up as the next great thing wasn't he? Alarm bells rang for me when he implied a woman needed a man to lead alongside her. Although that was the inference rather than a direct meaning he shouldn't have gone anywhere near that sort of statement, nor was it in any way the kind of move likely to lead to the radical and powerful leadership he said Plaid needed. I've not noticed him nor Plaid since he took over. |  | |  |

There could certainly be benefits in giving the WAG tax raising powers, but I think its going to turn out badly. The current government have over the last few years cut central funding to local authorities and the police. To compensate, local authorities and Police and Crime Commissioners have then had increase the council tax police precepts significantly. I can see May et al cutting the funding to the WAG forcing the WAG to make up the shortfall by increasing taxes. Instead of the WAG being able to raise money for extra projects in Wales our cash will be needed to make up for the money that’s removed from the central funding and our contributions to central government will be spent elsewhere.
I have a mate who’s a police officer, he was saying they cut the central government funding/ transferred additional expenditure liabilities while increasing the amount Commissioners could raise. The government then claimed they were increasing police funding - they hadn’t, they cut it but allowed the PCCs to raise more money locally. Smoke and mirrors and BS! | | | |

Sadly you have raised some very truthful and valid points here, what one can not espace is how badly Wales has been MANAGED by Welsh Labour. The new tax raising power could and should be a way of kick starting inward investment projects, but with Welsh Labour at the helm i dout it. | | | |
