Shouldn't Plaid be either anti-globalisation or at least, critical of moves towards further globalisation and freer trade? <br /><br />Interesting points to discuss, and probably more than interesting than talking about cuts, if the Plaid youth wants to get to grips more with the economy.Older Nationalistnoreply@blogger.com
