Walesonline on 10:44 - Mar 3 with 3204 views | siralan | PC politicians would do exactly the same as Labour have done and go along with the neglect of the rest of Wales to the benefit of Cardiff once in the WAG just to promote their careers.

Walesonline on 10:45 - Mar 3 with 3201 views | Private_Partz | Just seen it. I wonder how that one slipped through the editorial net. I wonder if BBC or ITV Cardiff will touch it tonight. The poll thay are running there already says 73%feel the rest of Wales is neglected. I expect this to be dropped like a stone within a couple of days. Well done Leanne but such a shame she holds her conference in the SE and is still championing only deprived areas in the Cardiff Valleys. Deserving areas though they are the house prices are raising there as a commuter belt to an overheating Cardiff. They have excellent transport links which are about to be dramatically improved with the metro. Other areas need her support as well. Particularly North Wales. It is promising but there is a massive amount of work to be done. She could start by highlighting the HMRC, DWP and the billion pound bypass fiascos. [Post edited 3 Mar 2017 10:47]

Plaid Cymru heartlands are far away from Cardiff, if you was being cynical then its not in Plaid Cymru politicians interest to abandon their voters and become Cardiff centric when in office. | ![](/images/avatars/9495.gif) |

It is in their interests if they want to build a power base, Trampie. When will people grasp that politicians in Wales are still politicians - just less competent than the average politician. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

You could say exactly the same about Labour politicians but they do. And there is no reason to believe PC would be any different. [Post edited 3 Mar 2017 11:01]

I can't help but like Leanne Wood for some reason, but that sounds like a good motto: Plaid Cymru: "Like the rest, but shitter" | ![](/images/avatars/9539.gif) |

The valley's deserve investment before Swansea, Swansea needs to get in line. As regards Plaids conferences they tend to go all over Wales, the previous Spring Conference was in Llanelli, the last Autumn Conference was in Llangollen. | ![](/images/avatars/9495.gif) |

No you couldn't say the same because Labour won every single Cardiff seat at the last Assembly elections, Cardiff Central, Cardiff North, Cardiff South & Penarth and Cardiff West. Plaid represent people far away from Cardiff. | ![](/images/avatars/9495.gif) |

So PC do not represent Cardiff and places that are not "far away" ? There are plenty of Labour MPs representing areas "far away from Cardiff" that still go along with the massive funding Cardiff receives. [Post edited 3 Mar 2017 11:37]

Labours powerbase in Wales is South Wales including Cardiff . Plaid are a party that represents all of Wales, to suggest that if Plaid got in they would look after Cardiff at the expense of the rest of Wales is nonsense, Glyndwr and the boys burnt Cardiff to the ground, oops that sounds like Alun Cairns thinking, lol. See Leanne Wood's comments in todays press, Leanne and Plaid are on a mission to rebalance Wales. | ![](/images/avatars/9495.gif) |

Most on here have said Swansea possibly has had a decent share of investment compared to some areas of Wales. It can't be denied though that it is a regional centre and has nowhere near the infrastructure to reflect that. The problem investment has been massively skewed towards Cardiff with the full encouragement of WAG to the detriment of the WHOLE of Wales. I have always said the A55 as a main artery to Ireland should be a motorway. Plus a North South Wales motorway to benefit all areas and help open up another corridor to Northern France and Spain thereby encouraging investment along all the routes. It is very important this is not made out to be a Swansea v Cardiff thing or the 'Chips on the shoulder' brigade will be out in force. Like I said a lot of work to be done. Is Leanne up to the job? I am amazed she has not trumpeted this line before. She gets my vote if she sticks to her guns. The media are sure as Hell ain't going to like it and she will need to call them to task if she feels she is not getting a fair hearing. | ![](/images/avatars/8905.gif) |

Those two are currently the next favourites for the top job, but Leanne is sitting pretty at the top of the tree at the moment, things can change quickly in politics, its a results business just like football, Leanne stopped the slide now can she take Plaid back up the league there are local elections coming up but the next General Election and Assembly Elections [main one for Plaid these days] are a long way away unless there is a snap General Election. | ![](/images/avatars/9495.gif) |

Walesonline on 16:00 - Mar 3 with 2848 views | trampie | Top speech by Leanne, just watched it, good stuff I would say, opening up with a local element, outlining recent Plaid successes and talking about the future. When she came off stage not just handshakes but lots of hugging, I did notice walking up the steps through the crowd to go out, there seemed to be a bit of a wobble, not a Hilary moment but a little shaky, could have been her high heels. Bethan next on stage, remarked straight away what a tough gig she had to follow after Leanne's speech, lol. | ![](/images/avatars/9495.gif) |
