Commenting on the result of the Caerphilly By-Election, former Welsh Conservative Senedd leader Andrew RT Davies has warned the victory of Plaid Cymru separatists must be a wake-up call to those who believe in the Union.
Mr Davies said Plaid had long escaped the scrutiny of other parties, and said the onus was on Unionists to ensure that changed.
Mr Davies said:
“Separatism is corrosive, with the aim breaking apart our nation and no regard to its consequences on the living standards of the people of Wales.
“Plaid have escaped the scrutiny subjected to other parties for too long, portraying themselves as a harmless protest vote while they pursue their extreme ideology.
“The separatists’ victory in Caerphilly must be a wake-up call and the onus is on those of us who believe in the Union to show the people of Wales the real Plaid.”
