.... you can read it in full here, the difference between Plaid Cymru and the other political parties in Wales is ...

... The Tories don't really have any politics, similarly to the Lib Dems and Labour. They pursue a managerial agenda based on treating voters like consumers and "marketing" short-termist ideas to them ...

•  A doctor and dentist when you need one.
• Support university students by meeting the extra cost of top-up fees for Welsh domiciled students.

• Create a new Welsh language innovation fund to strengthen Welsh ......
• Invest across Wales in the retrofitting and insulation of homes ....
• Create a multi-million pound growth fund .....
• Continue to provide relative protection for schools, hospitals ...
• Expand the Flying Start programme to increase the provision of free childcare.

"when politicians discover how to bribe the electorate with their own money democracy will be lost"

When Plaid lost John Dixon, who now describes himself as  ...

 who wrote ...

"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money."

... politicians learn quick.
