On the steps of the Senedd, Plaid Cymru's Rhodri Glyn Thomas addresses protesters against the planned cuts in further education.

"As far as the (Plaid) group is concerned, we are unanimous in our support for this. We need that funding for further education in Wales. We will fight for it and as far as I'm concerned, this is an issue where there is no possible means of doing anything other than reinstating that money for further education."

He's drowned out by applause.

Amongst the protesters - though some stood well away from the placards -15 Labour and Plaid politicians. They listened as the cuts were slammed, the cuts introduced by their own government.

This from Labour's Alun Davies:

"We're going to be making sure that we're campaigning to make sure the funding is available, to make sure that the promises we all make as politicians are realised. There's no point in people standing here making speeches if we go home and forget about the speeches we've given and the commitments that we've made. We're going to be making sure that when you're marching, we're marching with you".

But when we're voting ..?
