Plaid Cymru is ready to “replace” Labour, promising “a new government, with new energy and new ideas”, party leader Rhun ap Iorwerth MS will tell conference delegates in Swansea today.
Addressing members and supporters at the Plaid Cymru Annual Conference with the party leading the polls ahead of the Senedd Election next May, Rhun ap Iorwerth will encourage people in Wales to “come with us”, claiming that “Together, we can choose a different path – one where we roll up our sleeves to fulfil our potential, not one where we simply settle for what we have.”
In a speech which contains further detail about Plaid’s ambitious Programme for Government and speaking from the main stage on Friday afternoon, Rhun ap Iorwerth MS is expected to say:
“Today, with a historic nation-building opportunity before us, I’m going to set out the choice facing Wales – two very different futures but only one credible option.
“A seismic shift in our politics lies ahead. Change now seems inevitable and of course it’s long overdue.
“So, to the people of Wales I say ‘come with us’
“Together, we can choose a different path – one where we roll up our sleeves to fulfil our potential, not one where we simply settle for what we have.
Rhun ap Iorwerth will set out how Plaid Cymru is ready to lead Wales and replace Labour as the party of government:
“Let’s be clear. We’re not here to act as Labour’s conscience. We are not here to repair Labour. We are here to replace them.
“We promise a new government, with new energy and new ideas to prove what every person who believes in Wales already knows – that things don’t have to be this way.
“Plaid Cymru believes deeply in our potential as a nation. We say ‘Yes, Wales Can’ - and we want to show you how.
The Plaid Leader will also appeal to those who have never voted for his party before to do so next May in order to “forge new alliances for a brighter future” and to “give our nation the leadership it needs and the respect it deserves:
“So, if you’ve never voted for Plaid Cymru before, the time is now.
“The time is now to stop Reform and elect a government more radical, more ambitious, more impatient to bring about positive change than any which has gone before it. A government of progress and of progressive values.
“A government on the side of families, teachers, nurses, farmers, business-owners.
“Young and old. Urban and rural. North and south. Welsh speaker. Non-Welsh speaker.
“Life-long supporter and first-time voter. The time is now to forge new allegiances for a brighter future.
“With your support, we can give our nation the leadership it needs and the respect it deserves.”
