MHAIRI Black offered a vision of an independent Wales to the Plaid Cymru conference in Llanelli today.
The Scottish National Party’s deputy leader talked about her political journey from Labour to the SNP.
“I grew up in the years of Tony Blair’s Labour government and became alienated by his party’s drift towards being slightly less worse than the Tories.”
Ms Black also spoke about the similarities between Scotland and Wales, their linguistic connections and on the decline of both countries’ industrial heartlands.
“It is clear that real political change will not come from Westminster but from independence,” she told delegates.
“While we cannot get rid of the Conservative government we can shelter our people from its worst excesses.”
Ms Black told the nationalists that they are where the SNP was in the past, “but you can see the trajectory we have been on.
“The best selling point of independence is you can get rid of the government if they do not work for you.”
