A tale of two cities, no, two views ...

... of Wales, the pessimist versus the optimist, Carwyn Jones contemplating his pessimistic socialist navel whilst Nick Bourne writes "Wales is buzzing with optimism" ...

Jones ... "he said he believed the issue for Welsh business came down to confidence. "We have the ability to compete but we don’t believe we can," he said. "Unless we crack this issue of confidence we will never be in a position to solve the underlying problems of the Welsh economy.""

Bourne wrote ... "It is an exciting time to be living and working in Wales. There is a sense of optimism greater than I can remember for a long time, due I think to a combination of factors."....

.... he continued "Welsh Conservative proposals to free up schools, for example, so that teachers and headteachers can plan to spend their resources in a way that only they know best. Or to take small businesses out of business rates so that they can spend this money on employing more staff, developing new products or seeking new markets."



Come May 5th it seems there are two choices, the half empty glasses of Labour and Plaid who are both firmly fixed in the past or the Conservative optimists whose glass will always be half full ........
