Summary
A gifted and powerful communicator, the Leader of Plaid Cymru makes an impassioned case for his party and for the cause of Welsh independence. With just a couple of days until polling day, Adam outlines where Plaid stand, what they can learn from the SNP and what the relative position of the Labour Party means for their fortunes. This is a brilliant and entertaining exploration of the principles of Welsh independence and Adam's personal experience of being a politician in Westminster and Cardiff.

| 0:25.4 | musical way of talking about politics which I realise is quite cliché but as you'll know from |
| 0:32.8 | the Nick Robinson interview and others and anyway I just think sometimes there's a way |

| 1:59.7 | but 2001 was my first election when Labour's second landslide and I would have loved to have |
| 2:06.3 | been able to vote in 97 I didn't go to Nebworth I didn't go to Main Road I was two young to vote in 97 |
