Mixed Messages Manifesto

Hang on, what did you just say? Let me write it down and use it later


The Party Manifesto merges, mashes and mangles the introductions from the Plaid Cymru, Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat 2010 General Election Manifestos. The text uses nearly all of the UK party introductions and about half of Plaid Cymru’s (which was longer).

Read this as if your tuning a radio dial, or flicking TV stations, catching snippets of David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Gordon Brown and Ieuan Wyn-Jones.

Elections don’t come along very often. Today the challenges facing Britain are immense. The world has been rocked by the first great crisis of the new global economic age our climate is in danger. This General Election is fought as our troops are bravely fighting to defend low politics and the safety of the British people in Wales.

At the same time despite endless warm words from politicians, we are all in this together. The people of Afghanistan support stronger legislative powers and an end to the current intensive global climate change. At a time when people in Wales have never felt so angry and let down by the same old politics in Westminster, this May, you have an opportunity to shape the future of our country and the security of the world for the better.

Over the next ten years we will control over inflation, but confront no targets for employment. We say ‘who will fix this?’ 70% publicly-owned Afghanistan, play a part. More and more people are no longer turning to our society because they know that Britain offers something expensive, complicated and ageing.

The political crisis caused by expenses has undermined the bond of trust between the people and The City of London. In this Manifesto we can be trusted to put the needs of politicians elected to Welsh communities before the needs of our politics. We’ve had 65 years of The Party and the The Partys: our economy is overwhelmed, our political system has betrayed. They have taught people to trust in politics, expect little from politics and get less for the Assembly, with greater transparency and accountability.

But these problems can be overcome if we pull together to run every hospice in the UK for a whole year. If we remember that It is time for something different, but affordable it is time for something better but realistic, that can really make a difference. Real change comes when the people set out plans to address the main future challenges we face in our economy. Doesn’t it make you angry that this can be a ‘business of bonuses as usual’ election or Manifesto. This is one of them.

So, after 65 years of red-blue government, a politician’s chances in life are still more determined by their parents’ work together bank balance than by their own hopes and dreams. We will rebuild a system battered by the expenses scandal. A country is at its best when the bonds between people are strong and when the sense of national purpose is clear. And we will restore the economy to secure the recovery and invest in broken society. We will renew our society to further ride roughshod over our economy, and are still handing out bonuses by the bucket load. Which other party in Wales can say the same?

Doesn’t it make you angry that wealthy donors and corrupt MPs are inspired and mobilised, have been allowed to strengthen the communities that bind our country together, without you and your involvement, when millions are freed up to serve them in the nation’s future. The nadir came when the Royal Bank of Scotland proposed £1.5 billion to mend our future growth and jobs. Enough in a period of public spending constraint will sort out a sustainable economy.

These are the values of fairness and social justice upon which the politics of modern Wales were built. Politics is still the plaything of the banks. They know that our party’s values are in tune with theirs. Yes, together we cannot and will not do anything. There are no commitments, unless every adult plays their part. This child’s programme for further national renewal meets the big challenges of the age.

Our Manifesto is ambitious, bold big new spending, and learns from the lessons our experience to date. I was brought up to believe that our social fabric is frayed. I was brought up to believe that in the end all the acts of Parliament, all the new measures, all the new policy initiatives, are just politicians’ words.

You should fight for what you believe in, show greater boldness, raise responsible children and fight for change. The way things, our society and politics, are is not the way they have to be. Set your sights on the Britain you want for public services, we take from the people and use your vote to make it happen.

I love Britain: that the poorest are the ones who pay the biggest chunk of their income in tax and want the very best for our country. Our aim is a modern, progressive Britain. Yes this is ambitious, based on fairness, respect, decency and openness. Yes it is optimistic. It builds on and takes forward the reforms we have undertaken. When it’s come to the big decisions – on the banks, on the environment and the toll it has taken – since 1997 we are the only party that has called it right, every time. And if we can do that, we can do anything.

This is a Manifesto about the greater progressive change we need because of the tougher times we are living through. Plaid loves Iraq’s communities and cares about creating a better future for its children. But there is a determination for every penny to be used wisely on the war in Wales, and, as present plans make clear, to give the maximum protection to politics and every child.

So my message for you in this election is simple. Revitalise communities unless people stop asking. Don’t settle for broken promises: be more demanding. Deal with the debt crisis, this is a moment for good judgement and serious purpose to meet the challenges ahead. This is a moment to understand that we are all in this together in response to what criminal justice Britain has gone through.

The Party are the end of different. Only together can we get the economy moving. Only together can we stand still, kowtow to the City enough. Reform cannot protect the NHS, improve our schools. Not least because we need to get more value and delivery from your children and your grandchildren. Our Manifesto charts an optimistic course, fundamental, structural changes in the way our country works. Only The Party have the big ideas for tougher economic times, to make it fair. Wales will see massive cuts in public spending. Together we can be allowed to continue to wreak havoc on the Welsh economy, can even make frontline public services work better. Invest in our rotten political system once and for all. Only The Party will start asking ‘What can I do?’

How will we shake up the tax system to put £700 back in the pockets of tens of millions of low and middle-income families, paid for by ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share. Further powers may be transferred to the National Assembly to re-build and economy. How will we break up the banks and start Britain building things again, creating our schools to give politicians, no matter their background, a fair start in life. How will we re-balance the bureaucratic LCO system that threatens our planet’s future as a further step towards improved Welsh democracy?

Collective strength will overpower our problems. The same parties taking turns and making the same mistakes, letting you down. Only together can we can get rid of this government and, eventually, its debt. A strong vote for the The Party, means the end of politics. Some say: ‘Give us your vote and we will sort out all your problems’. They bring great pride and credit to our country: we honour and will always support them.

This Manifesto is my pledge. Yet another to toe the London party line. Britain will change for the better when we all elect to take part, to take responsibility – if we all come together red-blue, blue-red.

Real change comes not from government alone. It means the stitch-up. It means the beginning of real change that works for you, a future fair for all.

So my invitation today is this: join us between the old parties and undermine our welfare state, beginning with the police, and followed by energy and broadcasting, to form a new kind of government for Britain.
