PLAID CYMRU’S manifesto for the May 5 National Assembly of Wales election is longer and heavier by far than other parties’ offerings, but party leader Leanne Wood is unapologetic.
Wood, who has just celebrated her fourth anniversary as leader, insists that The Change Wales Needs is not just a manifesto but a programme of government going beyond a single term of office and, in some areas, laying the basis for generational change.
She sees the manifesto as the fruit of a process begun when she became leader and embarked on a programme of public meetings to “listen to people, hear their problems and listen to their solutions from their perspective.”
