BLAND AND METRO CENTRIC

All in all, it was a pretty bland, metropolitan (London) centric debate - largely focused on winning English votes. There was next to nothing in it for Welsh, Scottish or Irish voters (or viewers). The really scary bit was actually the utter lack of choice being offered across the bridge / border to voters in England, that and how depressingly similar the polices of the big two actually are!

There were times when Brown and Cameron might as well have swapped scripts. Much of what they said was irrelevant to our communities. In Wales, there is a real choice, Plaid offers a sensible different choice and we have different priorities - looking after pensioners, protecting our schools and hospitals and making sure our economy comes out of recession. The people of Wales (and Scotland) were ignored last night - they won't be ignored by Plaid Cymru (and the SNP).
