0:00:02 > 0:00:04On 22nd May, people have a chance to vote in an election
0:00:04 > 0:00:07which will decide the future of Wales.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10The Socialist Labour Party is committed to
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Britain's complete withdrawal from the European Union.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17The European Union has undermined and sought to replace our democracy
0:00:17 > 0:00:22and has dictated policies that have led to mass unemployment.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24The European Union's free-market policy
0:00:24 > 0:00:27means the unrestricted movement of capital and labour,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30a policy that has had dire consequences
0:00:30 > 0:00:35for people and jobs across Europe and for workers across Wales.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Wales is now being dictated to by bureaucrats in Brussels
0:00:38 > 0:00:41whose policies have led to the privatisation of everything
0:00:41 > 0:00:44from our railways to our electricity, gas and water
0:00:44 > 0:00:46and who are a driving force behind
0:00:46 > 0:00:50the recent privatisation of our postal service.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59We have a simple message in this election -
0:00:59 > 0:01:01vote for the Socialist Labour Party
0:01:01 > 0:01:03to help us get Wales and Britain as a whole
0:01:03 > 0:01:07out of the European Union so that we can determine our own future.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12The European Union, with its commitment
0:01:12 > 0:01:16to free-market capitalism, has caused economic chaos in Britain
0:01:16 > 0:01:19and this has resulted in nearly two and a half million people
0:01:19 > 0:01:22being officially unemployed,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25although the real figure is considerably higher.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29On top of this, millions more have little or no job security
0:01:29 > 0:01:32as a result of fixed-term or zero-hour contracts
0:01:32 > 0:01:35and they are becoming society's working poor.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Maybe this is partly why we now have 400 food banks in the UK,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43serving more than 350,000 starving people.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Yes, here, in the UK today.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49So instead of investing in jobs and services to generate prosperity
0:01:49 > 0:01:53in our society, recent governments have imposed austerity upon us.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57This is at the same time as giving billions of pounds hand over fist
0:01:57 > 0:02:00to failing bankers and allowing big business
0:02:00 > 0:02:02and the obscenely wealthy 1% of the country
0:02:02 > 0:02:07to exploit tax loopholes to the tune of £120 billion a year.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Austerity is a European Union driven agenda.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Vote for the Socialist Labour Party.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20In Wales, we've seen savage attacks on local government, education
0:02:20 > 0:02:22and our National Health Service,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26attacks which New Labour in power in Wales has enabled.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29In local government, we've seen wages being driven down,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32redundancies being imposed
0:02:32 > 0:02:35and services being cut to the point of failure.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39In education, a funding gap now exists
0:02:39 > 0:02:43which sees a funding shortfall of over £600 per pupil per year
0:02:43 > 0:02:46in Wales compared to England.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48In our National Health Service,

0:02:51 > 0:02:53causing loss of services across Wales
0:02:53 > 0:02:58and which is causing particular hardship in our rural communities.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00The Socialist Labour Party believes
0:03:00 > 0:03:03that our local government services, education system
0:03:03 > 0:03:07and National Health Service need the funding and deserve the support
0:03:07 > 0:03:10required to meet the needs of the people of Wales.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15The European Union is having a detrimental impact
0:03:15 > 0:03:17on farming in Wales.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Farmers and rural areas are abandoned,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23left with losses from harsh winters
0:03:23 > 0:03:27with no adequate compensation from the EU.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31The European Union will not raise its voice
0:03:31 > 0:03:34against proposed new nuclear power stations,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37like Wylfa B on Anglesey.
0:03:37 > 0:03:43This is despite Europe still being contaminated with radioactivity
0:03:43 > 0:03:46from the Chernobyl disaster of 1986,
0:03:46 > 0:03:51the consequences of which Welsh farmers are still facing.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56The Socialist Labour Party believes that the needs of farmers
0:03:56 > 0:04:00and rural communities should not be ignored
0:04:00 > 0:04:05and is opposed to nuclear power stations being imposed on Wales.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11In this election, the people of Wales have got to make a choice.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15A vote for any other party isn't a vote for independence or progress,
0:04:15 > 0:04:20it's a vote for the cuts of the European Union and the free market.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23A vote for the Socialist Labour Party is a vote for Wales
0:04:23 > 0:04:26and, above all, a vote for socialism.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31I urge you to vote for the Socialist Labour Party on 22nd May.
