SIR,

Don't have your vote taken for granted. Suspend lifelong voting traditions and join Gillian Duffy, the Labour supporter from Rochdale, and question what Labour has done for Wales.

Wales is now established as the poorest region of the United Kingdom.

The NHS in Wales has become the worst area for health care in the UK, Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones says he hopes to improve the service, we all would, but most would work on a plan – he just hopes.

The ambulance service has deteriorated over the years and Labour hasn't a plan for improvement.

Education is trailing the rest of the UK with falling standards in reading, maths and science giving the next generation little hope of escaping poverty.

Despite promises to halve child poverty by 2010, after 12 years of Labour Wales has the highest rate of children living in severe poverty in the UK.

Labour brought us to the brink of bankruptcy. They doubled the national debt and left us with the biggest budget deficit in the G20.

We are spending £120 million every single day just to pay off the interest on Labour's debt.

Join Gillian Duffy and you will see that Labour doesn't work. It's time for change in Wales.
