i.
what do you think is the most important issue in this election?

Social justice.

ii.
why did you make the decision to stand in this constituency and for this party (as an independent)?

I stood in Clwyd South because I know the area very well and still have links with the area, and care very much about the development of the communities there.

iii.
what kind of vote are you expecting on May 5th?

I am hoping for a vast improvement in the vote for Plaid Cymru and to challenge New Labour's arrogance.

iv.
aside from the vote what are you hoping to get out of this campaign?

I am hoping to learn more about politics and learn more from the people of the area, so that I have better experience to promote the needs
of all the people in Wales in the future.

v.
in your view what is the greatest threat to our civil liberties at the moment?

Free Marketism consensus and neo conservatism.

vi.
Blair has taken us to war three times since coming to power (not including the occasional ad hoc bombing raid) in the Balkans,
Afghanistan and Iraq. Can war ever be justified?

With regard to all in my memory - Never. The only war that I can see being justified is to repel invasion from a hostile power.

vii.
There is very little left to privatise in this country, if you had your way what would be brought into public hands?

Education (scrap Pfi) Health( all ancillary services back in public control) Railways and buses (public transport)
Water, Energy-brought into community ownership

viii.
Some environmental campaigners have started talking about nuclear power as a way to bring down CO2 emissions - what do you think of
this?

Utterly ridiculous especially in Wales

ix.

Asylum and immigration will be central issues in this election. What action on this issue would you like to see the next government push through?

To listen to all recommendations of UNHCR. To put in place fair measures that all can understand, that give a fair hearing to people needing asylum.

x.
What question do you wish was on this list but doesn't appear?

Do you support the self determination of all nations and full and fair devolution -and consequent independence for  the nations of Britain?
