You said it: "more state direction, more regulation, more public bodies, more targets, more frameworks, more intervention." The recipe for decline. When is the UK going to come to the realization that government intervention IS THE PROBLEM?! What we need is FREEDOM from government intervention, and particularly in the economy. Freedom equals wealth and growth. Nothing else works! We have an arrogant government who think they know better than we do about our well being. This country invented freedom and capitalism, what makes nations rich. Let's return to those basics!
The general public don't generally read manifestos, they rely on the media and the wannabe politicians to tell them the plans. So people will hear the nonsense about unicorns and fairy dust and think that all sounds good. In Wales they will no doubt hear the anti Westminster/anti English rhetoric and nod approvingly. They won't think about how any of this would be implemented or how much it would cost. Who is keen to vote for the Green Party? My guess is that it is still students, trustafarians and hippy boomers. Wales has plenty of them - the Escaped From The Rat Race crowd. Do the descendants of miners in the Valleys even bother to vote any more now that nobody represents them or cares what happens to them?
The Green's opposition to Nuclear is perverse. In France 70% of their electricity is from Nuclear. They are much further down the path to decarbonising their electricity grid than the UK and what is more they have a solid, reliable, secure supply. 100% renewable electricity for Wales is just fantasy. The Greens are not very good at arithmetic.
