Like you, I'm proud of our past. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
Wales has been the cradle of industry, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
we've led the fight for equality and, together, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
our communities have created a unique and diverse culture. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
Now, Wales is clinging on as the recession and the cuts | 0:00:25 | 0:00:30 | |
continue to hit Welsh families, businesses and confidence. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
But we've not lost our hope. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
We can choose a different future. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
For Wales, this isn't as good as it gets. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
I've been travelling around our country. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
You tell me that it's time for Wales to expect better - | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
to see higher standards in education, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
a stronger environment for our businesses to grow, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
and better health services within a reasonable distance from our homes. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
These are all things a Welsh government can and should ensure. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
As a parent, I share your desire to see Welsh children and young people | 0:01:09 | 0:01:14 | |
getting the best possible chance in life. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
Because we agree with you, Plaid Cymru, the national party of Wales, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
have ensured that £20 million is being spent this year | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
on creating new apprenticeships - | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
a bridge that will lead to a new and better future | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
for thousands of our young people, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
and a sure path towards a stronger economy. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
Plaid Cymru has also made sure that the people least able to afford it | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
won't have to pay more council tax or business rates. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
We think Welsh businesses should be supported. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
If more public contracts were given to Welsh firms, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
50,000 new jobs could be created. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
We want to see a national rail system for Wales | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
that doesn't put money in shareholders' pockets, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
but uses its profits to improve services for people | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
in all parts of Wales. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
We can do this. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
All it takes is determination and a team of able people | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
who are prepared to put Wales first leaving no community behind. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
There's an old saying in Welsh "A bo ben, bid bont," | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
whoever wants to lead, must be a bridge. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
Under my leadership, Plaid Cymru will be a bridge | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
between the communities of Wales and a path we can take together, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
forward to the future our children deserve. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 |
