-No.10 Downing Street.

0:00:120:00:13

-Since last July, Theresa May

-has governed behind this door.

0:00:130:00:17

-Will she be here after June 8?

0:00:170:00:21

-Over the next few weeks, we'll

-follow the political parties...

0:00:210:00:25

-..to try and help you decide.

0:00:250:00:27

-I attended the launch

-of the Lib Dem campaign.

0:00:290:00:34

-It just felt a little wishy-washy.

0:00:340:00:36

-There was a lack of passion

-in the launch.

0:00:380:00:43

-There's none of the Dafydd Wigley

-spirit there at all.

0:00:430:00:48

-As usual,

-we've asked some familiar faces...

0:00:490:00:52

-..to cast their eyes

-over the political parties.

0:00:530:00:56

-This is the race

-to 10 Downing Street.

0:00:560:00:59

-First under the microscope tonight,

-the Liberal Democrats.

0:01:050:01:09

-In 2015, they had 57 MPs and were

-part of a coalition government.

0:01:100:01:14

-Overnight, their representation

-dropped to eight MPs.

0:01:140:01:18

-Assessing the party's prospects

-this year is Dylan Iorwerth.

0:01:180:01:22

-Oy, down here.

0:01:240:01:26

-The big message from the Lib Dems

-in this election...

0:01:260:01:30

-..is staying in the Single Market.

0:01:300:01:32

-It's a suitable number since

-the party only has a single MP.

0:01:320:01:38

-One MP.

0:01:410:01:44

-One AM.

0:01:470:01:49

-And 11 local council seats

-disappeared.

0:01:500:01:55

-In the 2015 General Election, they

-were knocked over like skittles...

0:01:580:02:03

-..leaving only one.

0:02:040:02:05

-In the political circus,

-that's like riding an unicycle...

0:02:080:02:12

-..whilst juggling.

0:02:120:02:14

-Here's the leader, the

-deputy leader, the spokesperson...

0:02:140:02:18

-..and the teaboy.

0:02:180:02:20

-Of course, the Lib Dems started

-the campaign with one big idea.

0:02:240:02:28

-Raising income tax

-to pay for education.

0:02:280:02:31

-OK, how many pennies can we raise?

0:02:310:02:34

-I know a round number.

0:02:340:02:36

-One.

0:02:370:02:39

-There's one major question to ask.

0:02:400:02:43

-How many seats

-will the Lib Dems have in Wales...

0:02:430:02:46

-..after June 8?

0:02:460:02:48

-One? More than one? None at all?

0:02:480:02:52

-How do things look for the party

-in the electorate?

0:03:030:03:07

-Actress and political campaigner

-Carys Eleri...

0:03:070:03:10

-..spent a day with

-the Lib Dem's election campaign.

0:03:100:03:14

-I'm Carys Eleri. I'm an actress

-and, like you, a citizen.

0:03:170:03:20

-I'm worried about what's

-happening to our communities...

0:03:200:03:24

-..especially since the Tories

-won the 2015 Election.

0:03:240:03:28

-I'm in Cardiff Bay

-for the Lib Dems campaign launch.

0:03:290:03:32

-When they were in

-a coalition government...

0:03:330:03:36

-..they introduced

-austerity measures...

0:03:360:03:40

-..and broke promises

-about student fees.

0:03:400:03:43

-There's a new man in charge now,

-Tim Farron.

0:03:430:03:47

-He voted against these measures.

0:03:470:03:50

-He wants to see a change

-in the way we think about Brexit.

0:03:500:03:54

-Here he comes. Tim Farron.

0:04:020:04:04

-It's not a huge crowd.

0:04:110:04:13

-I'm here because I am determined...

0:04:140:04:16

-..that the tone

-of this election must change.

0:04:160:04:19

-He's looking across to the horizon

-but there's no-one there.

0:04:190:04:23

-It's time for some hope.

0:04:240:04:25

-Britain can be a better place...

0:04:250:04:27

-..than the place

-Theresa May envisages it will be.

0:04:270:04:30

-Let's change Britain's future.

-Thank you.

0:04:310:04:34

-I remember the Liberal Democrats

-in a coalition government...

0:04:360:04:40

-..when austerity measures

-were introduced.

0:04:400:04:43

-How do you feel about that?

0:04:440:04:46

-To be honest, we've moved on.

-People realise that.

0:04:460:04:50

-They can see that good things

-came from the coalition...

0:04:510:04:55

-..but there were

-some disappointments.

0:04:550:04:59

-There is renewed energy and

-young people have joined the party.

0:04:590:05:04

-They want to help us win.

0:05:040:05:07

-Tim Farron seems like

-an energetic politician...

0:05:090:05:11

-..but some have criticised his views

-on gay people and abortion.

0:05:120:05:16

-That's not a very liberal viewpoint

-if you ask me.

0:05:170:05:20

-Is the Lib Dems

-the party for young people?

0:05:200:05:23

-According to the only Welsh MP,

-the answer is yes.

0:05:230:05:28

-People need to be comfortable

-with the MP they elect.

0:05:290:05:32

-It's important that people

-have a dialogue with their MP.

0:05:330:05:36

-It's not just restricted

-at election time.

0:05:360:05:40

-I walk up and down the streets

-and people talk to me.

0:05:410:05:43

-That's the relationship

-people need...

0:05:440:05:46

-..so that young people

-have confidence...

0:05:460:05:48

-..that their voice is heard.

0:05:490:05:51

-I attended the launch

-of the Lib Dems campaign.

0:05:510:05:56

-What are my impressions?

0:05:560:05:58

-It just felt a little wishy-washy,

-to be honest.

0:05:580:06:02

-I couldn't see enough assertiveness

-in their midst.

0:06:020:06:06

-Of course, topics relating

-to abortion and gay sex...

0:06:070:06:12

-..they're very human topics.

0:06:120:06:15

-The Liberal Democrats

-is a human party.

0:06:180:06:21

-The fact that the leader is vague

-about his views on these topics...

0:06:210:06:27

-..that bothers me

-because he is the leader.

0:06:270:06:31

-So, I've never voted

-for the Lib Dems.

0:06:370:06:41

-I'd like to meet people

-who do vote for the Lib Dems...

0:06:420:06:45

-..and find out why they did so

-in the first place.

0:06:450:06:48

-Do you know who Tim Farron is?

0:06:510:06:52

-Do you know who Tim Farron is?

-

-No. Who is Tim Farron?

0:06:520:06:54

-How do you feel about the Lib Dems?

0:06:560:06:58

-How do you feel about the Lib Dems?

-

-How do I feel? Not a lot.

0:06:580:07:00

-What do you know about the Lib Dems?

0:07:000:07:04

-I don't think they're relevant to

-what I'm looking for in politics.

0:07:050:07:10

-I haven't heard a lot about the

-Lib Dems - maybe that's the problem.

0:07:100:07:14

-From what I've seen, there are

-good policies, fair policies...

0:07:150:07:20

-..and they're trying their best...

0:07:200:07:23

-..to change their image

-from the days of the coalition.

0:07:230:07:27

-They need to

-get their message across.

0:07:270:07:29

-They have good messages

-but people need to hear them.

0:07:300:07:33

-I do think they need

-some Tory balls to make that happen.

0:07:330:07:37

-We'll see.

0:07:370:07:39

-Following the debacle

-of the 2015 General Election...

0:07:440:07:48

-..their leader was kicked out.

0:07:480:07:50

-Since August 2015,

-faithful Christian Tim Farron...

0:07:500:07:54

-..has sought salvation

-for the party.

0:07:540:07:56

-Are they expecting a resurrection?

-I went to ask him.

0:07:560:08:00

-What's the point of your party

-at this election?

0:08:040:08:07

-The Liberal Democrats are the only

-party offering Britain and Wales...

0:08:080:08:13

-..the opportunity to vote

-for a better direction...

0:08:130:08:16

-..than the one

-the government is taking us.

0:08:160:08:19

-Labour voted with UKIP

-and the Conservatives...

0:08:200:08:23

-..to take us out

-of the Single Market...

0:08:230:08:26

-..the extreme version of Brexit,

-that will make Wales poorer.

0:08:260:08:30

-I say it doesn't

-have to end that way.

0:08:310:08:33

-I say the people should get the

-chance to decide on the final deal.

0:08:330:08:37

-It's the people that we trust,

-not the politicians.

0:08:370:08:40

-You don't want Brexit.

0:08:410:08:43

-The referendum gave a mandate

-for Brexit to be negotiated.

0:08:430:08:47

-Absolutely it's right

-that that should happen.

0:08:470:08:50

-I respect the result

-of the referendum.

0:08:500:08:53

-What's totally wrong is that Theresa

-May and Brussels bureaucrats...

0:08:530:08:59

-..stitch up our future,

-our children's future...

0:08:590:09:03

-..and then never ask the British

-people whether it's OK by them.

0:09:030:09:07

-The British people voted for Brexit.

-Why ignore that?

0:09:080:09:11

-The deal has not been written.

0:09:120:09:14

-If we believe David Davis, that deal

-might involve Welsh farmers...

0:09:140:09:19

-..having 35-40% export tariffs

-on their exports.

0:09:190:09:23

-You're proposing another referendum.

0:09:230:09:26

-I'm proposing a first referendum

-on the deal that is yet unwritten.

0:09:260:09:31

-Do you trust the politicians,

-Theresa May, UKIP and Labour...

0:09:310:09:36

-..or do you trust the people?

0:09:360:09:38

-Have you asked the people

-if they want another referendum?

0:09:390:09:43

-We remember Brenda from Bristol's

-reaction to another election.

0:09:430:09:48

-Many people will be of the view

-that we have too much time...

0:09:480:09:52

-..with journalists

-talking to politicians.

0:09:520:09:55

-Why are you proposing

-another referendum?

0:09:550:09:59

-The British people

-are not fed up of democracy.

0:09:590:10:03

-I will not stand by whilst

-all of our children are told...

0:10:030:10:07

-..they must put up with any deal

-that comes back from Brussels.

0:10:070:10:11

-If you believe in democracy...

0:10:120:10:14

-..you'll believe

-the Liberal Democrats...

0:10:140:10:17

-..are the only people trusting

-the people with the final say.

0:10:170:10:21

-You used to be the party

-of the centre ground.

0:10:220:10:24

-You propped up the Tory government.

0:10:250:10:27

-You're propping up

-the Labour government in Wales.

0:10:280:10:31

-You're asking me to define

-what the Liberal Democrats are for.

0:10:310:10:35

-We're for listening to the people...

0:10:360:10:38

-..and building a future

-that our children can be proud of.

0:10:380:10:42

-Propping up whoever offers you

-some power.

0:10:420:10:45

-Some people get into politics

-to avoid power at all costs.

0:10:450:10:48

-That's not very reputable.

0:10:480:10:50

-In four weeks' time, they have the

-opportunity to vote for a party...

0:10:500:10:56

-Are you ruling out

-working with anyone else?

0:10:560:10:58

-Yes, we are,

-for a very specific reason.

0:10:590:11:02

-You won't work with anyone?

0:11:020:11:04

-We take the view, honestly...

0:11:040:11:06

-..that there's not going to be

-a hung parliament.

0:11:060:11:09

-Theresa May called an election

-so it can be a coronation.

0:11:100:11:13

-She expects a landslide,

-she'll probably get a landslide.

0:11:130:11:17

-She will, as Wales will remember

-and I remember it too...

0:11:170:11:20

-..remember what a Conservative

-landslide will mean for Wales.

0:11:210:11:24

-You will be taken for granted.

0:11:240:11:26

-If you want someone who did not

-hold Theresa May's hand...

0:11:270:11:30

-..and UKIP's hand pushing Britain

-over the hard Brexit cliff...

0:11:300:11:34

-..the Lib Dems are the only party

-speaking for you.

0:11:340:11:37

-Tim Farron, thank you very much.

-Welcome back. For the past 12 years,

-Plaid Cymru have only had three MPs.

0:12:030:12:09

-What are the hopes for the party...

0:12:090:12:12

-..which has promised

-to defend Wales?

0:12:120:12:14

-Here's Dylan Iorwerth.

0:12:150:12:17

-To those of you unfamiliar

-with football...

0:12:190:12:22

-..some teams

-do everything but score.

0:12:230:12:25

-Arsenal or Swansea of old.

0:12:260:12:27

-In the political world,

-it's Plaid Cymru.

0:12:280:12:31

-These teams like to pass the ball

-back and forth...

0:12:350:12:38

-..forward and back

-and back and forth again.

0:12:380:12:42

-Even when the goal

-opens up in front of them...

0:12:430:12:47

-..the answer is one more pass.

0:12:470:12:49

-When there's a free-kick,

-supporters find their voices.

0:12:500:12:54

-Shoot!

0:12:540:12:56

-Independence in this case.

0:12:570:12:59

-The answer, as always,

-pass it again just in case.

0:13:000:13:04

-Teams like this like to play in

-Europe because of the easier games.

0:13:080:13:12

-Independence in Europe is Plaid

-Cymru's message but what next?

0:13:120:13:17

-The tactic this year

-is to be the voice of Wales.

0:13:180:13:21

-Create a defensive wall

-to prevent a goal.

0:13:210:13:24

-The danger is the ball

-will go around or over the wall.

0:13:250:13:29

-One answer is to blame the ref,

-the two linesmen...

0:13:290:13:33

-..and the fourth official.

0:13:330:13:35

-The other answer is to pile the

-pressure on the captain upfront.

0:13:360:13:40

-She once scored

-against Farage United...

0:13:400:13:44

-..and a victory

-in a local tussle in the Rhondda.

0:13:440:13:48

-Apart from that,

-she's hit the post a few times.

0:13:480:13:52

-In June, like some Welsh clubs...

0:13:570:13:59

-..PCFC will play

-in the English league.

0:13:590:14:02

-The danger for the small teams

-is being ignored....

0:14:020:14:06

-..while the big boys rush in

-to steal the ball.

0:14:060:14:10

-Will Plaid Cymru's message hit

-the bar or hit the spot this year?

0:14:180:14:22

-The right-wing religious minister,

-Felix Aubel...

0:14:220:14:25

-..listened to

-the nationalists' sermon.

0:14:260:14:28

-I'm Felix Aubel.

0:14:330:14:35

-I'm glad to be in the Rhondda,

-as a Valleys' son...

0:14:350:14:38

-..to give my views

-on Plaid Cymru's manifesto.

0:14:380:14:41

-I want to see if the party

-can fund its policies...

0:14:420:14:46

-..and more importantly,

-to see if the part is relevant...

0:14:460:14:51

-..in a battle

-between May and Corbyn.

0:14:520:14:54

-Please welcome

-Daniel Gwydion Williams.

0:14:550:14:58

-I've just arrived. I had high hopes.

0:15:020:15:05

-There are less people here

-than I expected.

0:15:050:15:10

-Let's see what the manifesto

-has to offer.

0:15:100:15:13

-Well, good morning to you all.

0:15:150:15:19

-Wales deserves better.

0:15:200:15:23

-I want to say to every person

-in this country...

0:15:230:15:27

-..a Plaid Cymru MP

-will not let you down.

0:15:270:15:30

-Now is the time to defy

-the old and out of touch parties...

0:15:310:15:35

-..to show that we believe in Wales,

-to defend and develop Wales...

0:15:360:15:40

-..to vote for Wales,

-to vote for Plaid Cymru.

0:15:410:15:44

-Thank you very much.

0:15:440:15:46

-The impression I get, since many

-of your ex-MPs are absent...

0:15:480:15:55

-..that you're not giving enough

-attention to this election campaign.

0:15:550:16:00

-You seem to concentrate more

-on the Assembly.

0:16:010:16:03

-No, both campaigns are important.

0:16:030:16:07

-With this election campaign, it's

-important to have a strong voice...

0:16:070:16:12

-..in Westminster

-to make sure that our MPs...

0:16:120:16:17

-..can retain the power

-we already have.

0:16:170:16:19

-Both campaigns are important.

0:16:200:16:22

-I enjoyed attending the launch

-of Plaid Cymru's manifesto...

0:16:250:16:30

-..but I was disappointed

-not to see some former MPs.

0:16:300:16:35

-This doesn't bode well

-for the party's enthusiasm...

0:16:350:16:40

-..to fight

-in this election campaign.

0:16:400:16:43

-There was a lack of passion

-in the launch.

0:16:430:16:48

-There's none of the Dafydd Wigley

-fighting spirit there at all.

0:16:480:16:53

-I'm in Pontypridd to find out...

0:16:540:16:58

-..what the electorate thinks

-of Plaid Cymru.

0:16:580:17:02

-What do you think of Leanne Wood

-and Plaid Cymru?

0:17:020:17:06

-I don't know much about her.

0:17:060:17:08

-I don't take much notice

-of things like that.

-What do you think

-of Plaid Cymru and Leanne Wood?

0:17:130:17:16

-Because I can't speak Welsh,

-I've never really entertained it.

0:17:160:17:21

-What do you think of Plaid Cymru?

0:17:210:17:24

-So you're a Labour man.

0:17:250:17:26

-So you're a Labour man.

-

-Through and through, born and bred.

0:17:260:17:28

-I'm on my way to meet one of the

-party's candidates, Branwen Cennard.

0:17:290:17:34

-What response has she had

-on the doorstep?

0:17:340:17:37

-Hello. It's nice to be

-in your company today.

0:17:420:17:46

-I don't know, I've never heard

-of you. I don't want you coming...

0:17:480:17:52

-Have you thought about

-the General Election?

0:17:560:17:59

-Plaid is who I'm voting for.

0:17:590:18:01

-Thank you very much.

0:18:010:18:03

-How has the response been so far?

0:18:070:18:10

-A lot of them very positive.

-There was no answer there.

0:18:100:18:14

-There was one woman up there

-who'd made her mind up.

0:18:150:18:18

-You can see a change

-in the landscape.

0:18:190:18:21

-I can feel the winds of change.

0:18:210:18:23

-You say you're putting Wales first.

0:18:270:18:32

-If you saw a Tory policy

-that could benefit Wales...

0:18:320:18:40

-..would you be ready

-to support that policy?

0:18:400:18:45

-It depends on the policy

-and it depends on the obligations.

0:18:450:18:49

-You're not going to vote

-against someone...

0:18:500:18:53

-..who's doing something

-to benefit Wales.

0:18:530:18:56

-The question is, will the

-Conservatives introduce policies...

0:18:560:19:00

-..to benefit Wales?

0:19:010:19:02

-The Plaid Cymru manifesto

-has one reference to independence.

0:19:040:19:09

-It's the objective

-that created this party's existence.

0:19:090:19:13

-43 references to defending Wales.

0:19:130:19:17

-It's a similar manifesto

-to the one published...

0:19:170:19:22

-..by Welsh Labour and Carwyn Jones.

0:19:220:19:25

-The party has good candidates

-but one crucial thing is missing.

0:19:260:19:31

-There's no fire,

-there's no conviction.

0:19:320:19:37

-If this party wants to succeed...

0:19:370:19:40

-..it must stand up and fight

-and not lie down to sleep.

0:19:400:19:46

-For the past five years...

0:19:510:19:53

-..Valleys' girl Leanne Wood

-has been Plaid Cymru's leader.

0:19:530:19:57

-She insists they have

-a long-term plan for independence.

0:19:570:20:00

-How much time does she need

-to turn the party's fortunes around?

0:20:000:20:04

-Good to see you.

-Do you want to come over here?

0:20:080:20:11

-Labour's facing this election

-on its knees.

0:20:140:20:16

-If you can't break through now,

-can you ever?

0:20:170:20:20

-We're in a good position

-to do well in this election.

0:20:200:20:23

-The local election results

-show us what's possible.

0:20:230:20:27

-There were seven constituencies

-where Plaid Cymru defeated Labour.

0:20:270:20:31

-It's in those constituencies that

-we'll look to do well on June 8.

0:20:310:20:35

-You're not saying

-what Wales wants to hear.

0:20:360:20:40

-Brexit, for example. You campaigned

-for Remain, Wales wanted out.

0:20:400:20:45

-Plaid Cymru's put forward

-a positive post-Brexit plan...

0:20:450:20:49

-..to take advantage of

-any opportunities that arise.

0:20:490:20:52

-Is that credible

-when you campaigned against Brexit?

0:20:530:20:56

-It's a U-turn really, isn't it?

0:20:570:20:58

-It's a U-turn really, isn't it?

-

-We recognise the situation we're in.

0:20:580:21:01

-What's important is that Wales

-has a strong voice as we leave.

0:21:010:21:06

-We've been largely neglected

-and ignored since the referendum...

0:21:070:21:12

-..because Labour MPs that should

-have stood up for Wales have failed.

0:21:120:21:17

-They're more interested

-in infighting...

0:21:170:21:20

-..and stabbing their leader

-in the back.

0:21:200:21:23

-What about the scaremongering

-on the cruel, reckless Tories?

0:21:230:21:27

-Does that resonate in Wales?

0:21:270:21:29

-If you've spoken to people

-like I have...

0:21:290:21:32

-..you'll have come across people who

-may have lost their mobility car...

0:21:320:21:37

-..who may have lost funding

-because of Tory welfare reforms...

0:21:370:21:42

-..which have left people

-unable to make ends meet...

0:21:420:21:46

-..some families

-unable to make ends meet.

0:21:460:21:49

-YouGov have spoken to people

-across Wales.

0:21:490:21:52

-People don't think the Tories

-are cruel and reckless.

0:21:520:21:56

-Let's wait and see

-for the actual result, should we?

0:21:570:22:00

-The Tories are making this election

-all about Brexit and I can see why.

0:22:000:22:05

-That takes the pressure

-and spotlight off the way...

0:22:050:22:08

-..they run public services,

-carry on with cuts...

0:22:080:22:11

-..and the way they intend

-to privatise our public services.

0:22:110:22:15

-What's your stand-out policy

-in this election?

0:22:150:22:18

-We have an action plan

-to transform Wales.

0:22:190:22:22

-It's about the economy and jobs.

0:22:230:22:25

-There are 200,000 Welsh jobs

-that are reliant...

0:22:260:22:29

-..upon tariff-free access

-to the European Single Market.

0:22:290:22:33

-The Lib Dems and Labour

-are saying that.

0:22:330:22:36

-It's a no-brainer.

0:22:360:22:37

-What's different about Plaid Cymru?

0:22:380:22:40

-It's more than just about

-defending what we have.

0:22:400:22:44

-Clearly what we have

-is not good enough.

0:22:440:22:47

-We're in a position

-where wages are 10%...

0:22:470:22:50

-What's your stand-out policy

-as Plaid Cymru in this election?

0:22:500:22:55

-We'll protect those jobs

-that rely upon the Single Market.

0:22:550:22:59

-We'll put in place measures

-to create the conditions...

0:23:000:23:04

-..for better-paid jobs.

0:23:040:23:05

-On June 9,

-how many seats will you have?

0:23:060:23:08

-I'm not prepared to put a number on

-that but it will be a bigger group.

0:23:090:23:13

-More than three?

0:23:130:23:14

-More than three?

-

-We're going all out to maximise...

0:23:140:23:16

-..that block of MPs so that they

-can stand up for this country.

0:23:170:23:21

-Leanne Wood, thank you.

0:23:210:23:23

-That's all for tonight.

0:23:290:23:31

-Next time, can Labour keep hold

-of Wales in the election...

0:23:310:23:36

-..and we'll join

-the colourful characters of UKIP.

0:23:360:23:40

-Join us then.
