Why I am proud of Welsh Labour

There are many reasons to be proud of the Welsh Labour government in the Welsh Assembly, and their socialist values demostrated by the commitment to social justice and fighting poverty and inequality in society. Here are some of the examples of why I am proud to be Welsh Labour:

5)Free School Breakfasts for Primary school children:

I think this is postive because many children go to school without a proper breakfast, even when I was in primary school I remember other children saying that never had breakfasts. It is shown that a meal at the start of the day is not only healthly, but also helps children concentrate.


4)Free bus travel for the over 60s and disabled in Wales

Another good, social democratic move by the Welsh Labour government in the Assembly, enabling people to travel further then they may not have been able too if they had to pay for it.

3) Free swimming for children during School holidays

A good measure to help keep children active and fit.


2) Securing EU objective one money for Wales.

A lot of people bash ythe EU, however they ignore its benifits, like the objective one money that comes into the poorest parts of Wales, this has helped the economy, secure jobs or even create jobs and is helping deprived communities up and down the Wales, this would not have been secured again if it was not for Welsh Labour fighting for Objective one for Wales. Plaid Cymru said it couldn't be done, nor did the any other Parties think Wales could get objective one, but we have got it.

And I think the most proudest thing for this Welsh Assembly Government, under Welsh Labour so far is....


1) Having the cheapest Prescriptions inWales with them being Free by 2007.

I think that speaks for itself, free healthcare is one of the key cornerstones in Socialist philosphy and Free Prescriptions in Wales will be a tribute to, probably the greatest Socialist Britain has ever seen, Nye Bevan, and his vision of the NHS which be brought in and the idea of Free healthcare for all at the point of need, that has worked and is working so very well in Britain
today.


There is still a lot more to be done, and Welsh Labour is the party saying that they will do that, and that they are willing to carry out the Socialist and Progressive Values that Wales has and that Welsh Labour shares, be it tackling Child Poverty, Free Prescriptions and ensuring everyone has a decent education.
