More on Plaid Cymru’s double standards

Betsan Powys highlights further unease at the sell-out by Plaid Cymru Assembly Members over their treatment of Welsh students.

She tells us that Heledd Fychan, one of the party’s prospective parliamentary candidates has criticised the leadership in Barn magazine on the decision to reintroduce top-up fees:

“How can the party leader justify taking such a decision and taking it without discussing the matter with anyone outside the Assembly? Shouldn’t it have been discussed with members before agreeing to support Labour? Indeed, why didn’t Plaid Cymru in the Assembly stick to their election promise and steer a different course to Labour for the first time since forming the coalition?”

“How can voters be expected to have faith in politicians who say one thing but vote in a quite different way?”

Meanwhile, whilst people struggle to make ends meet in the midst of the worst recession in living memory, Plaid Cymru continue to make Independence their main talking point, showing just how out of touch they are.

In doing so they are also compromising the campaign for a ‘yes’ vote in any future referendum on additional law-making powers for the Assembly by playing into the hands of True Wales. This is a point that is not lost on the likes of wiser sages such as Cynog Dafis.
