is wales run by labour or conservative and what does devolved mean 12:48 - Apr 26 with 7997 views | libertine | can someone clarify simply how our country is being run ? Is it a conlib - labour -- whatever council your in run government, and if so does it make any difference who's at the top there seems to be a lot of confusion, would this then mean that Wales has been labour for a long time???

I really don't trust these people, I know for a fact that they hide things, which are borderline illegal/illegal, the culture of bullying the whistleblower into not whistleblowing at all is a daily occurrence within the organisation. jobs for the boys is a massive problem | | | |

Politicians are politicians I don't think they would be any worse, simply because they are Welsh. | |

Complete and utter toss, especially when the English decide they want to be devolved and collect and spend their own taxes on themselves, then us and Scotland will be well and truly dicked. The flawed Barnett formula will become obsolete. |
If we collect our own taxes and they collect their own taxes there will be no problem, so long as they have no say over how we run Wales and we leave them to run England. | |

Wales is simply not self-sufficient. Without the south-east of England, we'd be truly stuffed. The English can't afford to have free prescriptions, how long do you think that would last with the relatively modest amount of high-earners in Wales? Wales has been run by Labour for 16 years (not complete control, it has some areas like NHS/education devolved - basically everything we're considered really bad at) and in that time, they've centralised all the wealth in Cardiff and reduced the other cities to ghost towns. Look at Swansea town centre 16 years ago, nowhere near as bad as it is now. Look at all the things they've built in Cardiff in the past 16 years and the money they've pumped into there at the expense of the rest of Wales. It's a travesty and they only get away with it because people keep voting for them for some absurd reason. | |

Haha! In Wales, if you dare criticise Labour you're considered righter than Thatcher. Do you actually think Labour (albeit Welsh Labour) have done a good job in Wales? When you look at the disparity betwen Cardiff and the rest of Wales? The different levels of investment between Cardiff and the rest of Wales? It's scandalous. | |

absolutely correct, I honestly have witnessed illegal deals bribery etc. and I know that they have been reported all the way up the chain in labour government and they have chosen to push them to the side, instead they have threatened the supergrasses with losing their businesses. These issues have no comparison to issues such as savil or other perverts that the government seem to have been aware of, but the law is the law and it should not be down to the local government and its many personalities and interpretations to decide how the feel about different issues of law, the law is clear. In wales there seems to be way too much of this sort of thing going on, that's what concerns me about devolution. Luckily we are in the EU so problems can be taken above the Welsh Government | | | |

I don't think anybody actually knows how much Wales could really generate from taxes. | |
