lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to bring to your attention the fact that now we are actually going to have a referendum in Wales. Yes, believe it or not, a referendum. We were denied one on the Constitution, we were denied one on the Lisbon Treaty, but we are to have one in Wales on further powers for the Welsh Assembly. Now that is the issue at stake, but there is a sting in the tail. All the political parties in Wales – Labour, Plaid Cymru, Liberal Democrats and Conservatives – are supporting this and they are wishing for more powers. Well, I have got news for them: I do not. They are treating people in Wales like fools. At a time now, when independence will be next on the agenda, we could end up having as many as 80 Assembly Members. In Wales, we have care homes under threat, we have schools under threat of closure, our roads are like a Third World country, and yet our political class in Cardiff Bay, as over here, are determined to push ahead with this mad idea. I welcome the fact that there is a referendum, but I hope the good people of Wales stand up and vote ‘no’."@en1
