Poople should vote on two key issues

-

A VOTE for Carwyn next Thursday is a vote for Corbyn. Corbyn, far from being an accelerati­on to the future, is a blast from the past.

However, he is not a comedy character, like the BBC’s Citizen Smith.

He is too close to power – this is serious. His half-learnt and less understood warmed-up Marxism (with his rose-tinted view of life under Communism which killed millions and enslaved many more) will drag this country into economic hell, taking first Carwyn with it. Poor Carwyn would be on the receiving end of one dictate after another from Comrade Corbyn in London and he could do absolutely nothing about it.

Marxism has no place in the governance of Wales.

On the other hand, we have Theresa May, who seems to think that after a lifetime of paying your taxes it is legitimate for government­s to acquire the inheritanc­e of your children. The social care proposals as they stand amount to statespons­ored theft.

Neither party has plans to empower the people by getting the state and its burdens off their backs. Power to the people, not the political elites in Cardiff, London or Brussels.

People when they vote should surely focus on the two key issues. The first is the terrorist threat given the 23,000 potential jihadis on the streets of our cities. Corbyn clearly could not be trusted in the defence of the realm. He thinks a cup of tea and a chat is the best defence. All too often he has appeared to side with the enemies of our nation and humanity. His response to endemic anti-semitism in politics and in some sections of society has been relaxed to say the least.

The second is ensuring a full, proper and transparen­t Brexit (a test by which all politician­s should be judged), so that Wales and the United Kingdom can be free of the spider’s web of regulation­s that are trapping our economy into decline and that the country is no longer

under the jurisdicti­on of any courts other than our own.

A bright future as an internatio­nal trading nation beckons, a beacon of business excellence for the entire world. Chris Gillibrand Pontwelli, Llandysul
