Wigley asks Welsh ex-pats to vote Green in England

Plaid Cymru’s general election chief Dafydd Wigley called yesterday for the 400,000 Welsh people living in England to vote Green in May.

Making an appeal to ex-pats 99 days before polling day, Baron Wigley said that both parties were committed to ending austerity, scrapping Trident and protecting the environment.

The former Plaid leader said their votes could help the joint Plaid, SNP and Green group hold the balance of power if Britain’s most unpredictable election ever ended in a hung parliament.
