Plan.

Uh and I think we planned very, very carefully for coming into office and that's standing us in good stead now.

We weren't taking anything for granted, but if things did go in our direction we were ready to go, and that's been proved true.

Maybe he hasn't had much time to prepare, or maybe he has.

But without a plan, what's the danger?

Well there's a real danger of not being focused.

Not just yourself not being focused, but the people who will be holding you to account.

So we produced a first hundred days plan for ourselves.

So we knew the order in which we thought we needed to get things done in order to get the wheels of government moving on the policies and the ideas that were important to us.

But it's also important that you tell people, right, this is what we're gonna do, hold us to account.

Account for it.

I want my government to be a very open one.

We have to be providing people the tools by which they can hold us to accounts.

We'll talk more about what you're trying to do.

Power for Wales.

And it's not just that I have always believed that, but there are hundreds of thousands of people who believe in Wales and wanted Wales to spread its wings, and who felt constrained by being led by political parties that ultimately have their bosses in London and could never really say, no, we're focused on you, we represent you.

And when Plied Cambri did get that victory, which was a clearer victory than most of us could have imagined, even, there was a sense of relief, of feeling we were right.

We were right that we could unite Wales behind this kind of vision, which we did.

Every part of Wales, half of all our capitals, Senate members, or Plied Cymbury Senate members.

The same for Swansea than South.
