Reform Wales will scrap scourge of motorists Labour lumped us with | Politics | News
There are three key reasons I believe you should vote for Reform Wales on May 7. The first is that Reform represents real change, and Wales is crying out for change. Labour stood on a platform of change back in the 2024 General Election. And for many people who were fed up of decline in our communities and the cost of living crisis, this was an inspiring message. But it turned out that things would only get worse. As we knew all too well in Wales from a quarter of a century of Labour rule, they cannot be trusted to run our public services, our economy, or our country.
Here in Wales, Labour have been in charge for a lifetime. Crucially, they have been kept in power by Plaid Cymru. While Labour pushed on with the Nation of Sanctuary and blanket 20mph speed limits, Plaid supported them, allowed their budgets to pass and struck deals to save Labourโs skin when the going got tough. So if youโre seeking real change which is ambitious and deliverable, then Reform is the party for you.
And itโs our ambitious policy platform that is the second key reason I believe you should vote Reform.
Our full manifesto is available online for anybody who would like to go over all of our policies but, for this short article, let me set out some of our key pledges for this election.
We will scrap the blanket 20mph speed limit that has been the scourge of motorists across Wales since its implementation. We will begin key upgrades on our road network including the M4 Relief Road and A55.
Weโll scrap the Nation of Sanctuary policy and put Welsh families first. That means giving Welsh people priority for social housing. It means stopping the Welsh Government sending international aid abroad when we have crumbling public services here at home. It means ensuring no migrant hotels are opened in Wales.
And we will tackle the cost of living by cutting income tax, and making sure that if your council wants to raise council tax by 5% or more, you will have your say in a vote.
These are ambitious pledges that would deliver real change for Welsh communities. They would represent a serious departure from the negative policies introduced by Labour and supported by Plaid.
But the important thing is that these pledges are costed and deliverable. That brings me onto the third reason you should vote Reform: We donโt just have policies, we have a credible plan to deliver them.
While other parties claim their policies are costed, even when they have billions in unfunded pledges, we have shared our costings with the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
Thatโs because weโre serious about winning, and weโve brought forward a blueprint for government that we can begin to deliver from day one.
Real change, ambitious policies, and a plan for delivery. Thatโs what youโll get with Reform this May.
