Although it’s the three year anniversary of the formation of the One Wales government, there won’t be much celebrating across Wales today.
Labour and Plaid Cymru took office together with a pledge that they were ‘passionate about improving the lives of people in Wales and making our nation a better place in which to live and work’.
Since the Labour and Plaid Cymru formed their coalition, the number of children living in poverty has increased and even now they have no concrete plans of how to get to grips with this social injustice.
Thousands of workers across Wales have lost their jobs in the past three years and this Labour-Plaid government’s attempt to deal with the recession was weak and did little to protect families across Wales.
Although more money has been put into our health service compared to England, the people of Wales are still suffering from long waiting lists, poor ambulance response times and a lack of access to NHS dentists.
Undoubtedly, the Labour-Plaid government will shout from the rooftops about their gimmicky One Wales policies like free laptops and heavily subsidised flights from north to south, however a measure of this government’s success should be their ability to protect children and the vulnerable and defend workers from difficult times. On these counts, they have failed.
