There should no...There is a bottleneck at Heathrow.<br />There should not be a position where there is only one single interchange. London has several airports Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, Southend, Southampton, etc.<br />If you want to keep the UK together then economic activity should be spread across the UK and not centered on London. <br />Aberaeron & Neath LD (a Welsh party) should be promoting the use of Welsh government owned Cardiff Airport. <br />Welsh democrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057787877432813572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29958311.post-88743667906145745672020-02-28T12:51:00.167+00:002020-02-28T12:51:00.167+00:00I agree that Heathrow expansion should be cancelle...I agree that Heathrow expansion should be cancelled - its not only climate change but the imbalance of economic activity. <br />I support the promotion of Cardiff airport to enhance the economy here in Wales. We are short of seaports, so any land trade with the world will otherwise have to come through England. <br />It is not a good idea for Wales to rely on England because of the differing in politics and culture of the 2 countries. The UK system is too centralised, the experience of 2010-15 showed that even with LD in coalition it was almost impossible to change the UK and it would take a long time for LD to win outright in England even with Plaid Cymru/Green support. <br />With brexit on the horizon it will be best to consider Welsh and Scottish independence and to approach possible membership of the EU as independent states. <br />If Plaid Cymru does get a majority of seats in the coming Senedd GE, then we have a good opportunity to build Wales as a liberal democracy which will be a showcase for England, Scotland and the world. <br /> Welsh democrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057787877432813572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29958311.post-46505408623852387432020-02-28T12:14:06.543+00:002020-02-28T12:14:06.543+00:00How would you deal with the problem of planes unab...How would you deal with the problem of planes unable to land because of lack of runway capacity and having to circle round burning huge quantities of fuel and causing distress to passengers anxious to alight and get home or make their connecting flight ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
