Not voting Labour? Why you should think again!

The daily embarrassment to the Welsh LibDems that is Nick Clegg shouldn't be ignored by the electorate of Montgomeryshire. In the past, voters have elected LibDems to represent them in Westminster & Cardiff with startling regularity. Consequently Montgomeryshire has been represented from a weak minority opposition group in both bodies. Of course that trend changed slightly when Glyn Davies won the Westminster seat last May and yes the Tories are leading in a coalition government with the LibDems, viciously cutting funding to the services we take for granted.

It is that very point which means that a vote for either the Tories or LibDems on May 5th will simply return an AM for Montgomeryshire to sit in another weak minority opposition group in the Senedd, but now with the added 'given' that they will endorse every savage, swingeing and unfair cut imposed on us by their ConDem Alliance colleagues.

To ensure Wales has a strong first line of defence against those cuts, Wales MUST return a government that is able to stand up for its people. Wales Labour is able to do that, it has a track record to prove it. For once I hope the people of Montgomeryshire realise they need representation from within that strong government and not from a point within weak opposition.
