Job creation and reviving the economy are everyone’s priority Leanne – what difference can you make?

Over at the Institute of Welsh Affairs blog Click on Wales the four party leaders have been given a platform to spread their wisdom and ideas at the start of 2013, there's the usual guff about Wales needing strong leadership from Andrew RT Davies, rugby and platitudes from our dear leader Carwyn Jones and today’s offering from Plaid leader Leanne Wood about sorting out the welsh economy and creating sustainable jobs. (Kirsty Williams is up tomorrow)

On the jobs and economy, Leanne's article is nothing that hasn’t been said before by countless Welsh politicians, academics, business people and journalists. Yet nothing ever happens after the obvious has been said and the majority of people agree what needs doing and what action needs to be taken.

I wish Leanne Wood and anyone else, politico or not who wants to make the debate on the Welsh economy a top priority day after day, but we still have a long way to go before that happens in political and voter circles and even longer before Wales’s economy shows any signs of the sustained growth or job creation we all whatever out political colours want, as two welsh respected economists told BBC Wales earlier this week.

But Leanne does get some credit for trying and her IWA article is here
