The leaders of the SNP and Plaid Cymru, Alex Salmond MSP and Ieuan Wyn Jones AM, have unveiled '4 Wales, 4 Scotland' - the SNP and Plaid Cymru's joint agreement to secure a better deal for the people of Scotland and Wales in the event of a hung parliament.
The key elements of the four part programme will be:
- Fair funding for Wales and Scotland
- Protecting local services and the most vulnerable
- Action to help the green economy
- Support for business growth
Wales and Scotland will need strong representation, as both New Labour and David ('Call me Dave') Cameron's Tories are threatening particularly deep and particularly harsh cuts which will seriously damage and endanger Scottish and Welsh economic recoveries. A hung parliament would be the best result, with more Plaid and SNP MP's, especially when you have the Chancellor Alistair Darling already admitting that any cuts planned by the New Labour Government will be "harsher and deeper" than those inflicted during the Thatcher era, then Wales and Scotland needs a strong bloc of SNP and Plaid MPs, who can influence and win vital concessions for Wales and Scotland.
