Welsh Lib Dems hold Conference in Cardiff

By | Sat 2nd March 2024 - 11:55 am

The Welsh Liberal Democrats are holding their Spring Conference in Cardiff this weekend.

They’ll be debating what makes a fair deal for Wales, childcare, support for farmers, businesses and tourism, local government funding and attracting graduate to Wales. They’ll also debate whether to remove the controversial 2o mph limit on restricted roads across Wales.

Ahead of the Conference, Welsh Leader Jane Dodds said:

“We currently find ourselves in difficult circumstances, surrounded by economic uncertainty and global instability that has clouded our future.

Our economic woes and current deprivation of public services have been fuelled by an indifferent UK Conservative government intent on running our country into the ground.

Never before or since have we been faced with a government so out of touch with the needs of its people.

Meanwhile, Labour have been too busy moving the goalposts and changing their promises to offer anything substantial for the people of Wales.

If you want to get rid of the conservatives, don’t vote Labour.

Plaid Cymru, through their obsession over independence, have lost sight of their principles. Choosing instead to compromise in their co-operation agreement with Welsh Labour on some of the promises they have previously made, which includes their abandoning of the Single Transferable Vote system.

We have every reason to be hopeful about the party’s prospects for the future, and at the next general election I can promise you that the Welsh Liberal Democrats will be playing their part in kicking the Tories not just out of Number 10, but also out of Wales for good.”
