Worth mentioning here that as one of our longer-term ambitions, and when GWLAD can do so, we would like to see real power located in Mid and North Wales
To this end we would propose a governmental settlement in which not only are the various arms of government formally separated into Executive, Legislature and Judiciary, but that these functions take place at different permanent locations so that, like South Africa for example, Wales will have not just one Capital City, but three
We’d propose retaining Cardiff, being the largest city and most important commercial centre, as the Judicial Capital where the Welsh Supreme Court sits
We would also maintain the city’s status as Wales’s principal financial centre, with the Central Bank located there
We’d propose that the Legislature – the Senedd itself – be relocated to the Sarn Mynach buildings in Llandudno Junction
We’d propose that the Executive – ministerial offices including that of the First Minister – be located in the Rhodfa Padarn buildings in Aberystwyth
Aberystwyth would therefore become the de facto Capital City for practical purposes.
It should be noted that we envisage the use of existing, underused, government buildings for all these functions, and we would oppose the expenditure of large sums of money to develop additional government buildings in these locations. We would, however, hope that in due course this geographical layout would lead to improvements in the transport infrastructure that connects these centres.
Finally, we would consider a role, probably ceremonial, for Machynlleth – the fact that this is where Owain Glyndŵr’s parliament was located is very significant to us. While we cannot justify the expense of developing a centre of government here, we would nevertheless encourage its use as the location, for example, of swearing-in ceremonies when a new government is inaugurated.
All somewhere in the future. But there, in our thoughts and plans!
Nid yw’n amhosibl bod pleidleiswyr siomedig Plaid yn symud tuag at Reform. Ni allwn eich beio am deimlo nad ydych yn adnabod yr hyn y mae Plaid Cymru wedi dod yn awr.
Ond os ydych chi eisiau plaid sydd—
*yn ymrwymedig i Gymru rydd
*yn dweud “Ie” i Senedd estynedig
*eisiau i’r Senedd wneud gwell defnydd o’r pwerau sydd ganddi eisoes
*eisiau ehangu addysg Gymraeg ar lefel gynradd ac uwchradd
*yn sicrhau bod dysgu hanes yn canolbwyntio llawer mwy ar yr hyn sy’n gwneud Cymru’n unigryw
*yn blaenoriaethu cefnogi cwmnïau sy’n eiddo i Gymry
Yna dim ond un dewis sydd os ydych yn newid o Blaid Cymru.
A dyna yw GWLAD.
Nid ydym yn y busnes o ddweud “Pleidleisiwch X i atal Y”.
Jyst pleidleisiwch GWLAD.
It's not impossible that disillusioned Plaid voters are drifting to Reform. We can't blame you for feeling that you don't recognise what Plaid Cymru has become
But if you want a party that -
*is committed to a free Wales
*says "Yes" to the expanded Senedd
*wants Y Senedd to make better use of the powers it already has
*wants to expand Welsh-language education at primary and secondary levels
*ensure that the teaching of history focuses much more upon what makes Wales distinc
*prioritises supporting Welsh-owned companies
Then there is only one choice if you're switching from Plaid Cymru
And that is GWLAD
We're not in the business of saying "Vote X to stop Y"
Vote GWLAD
@JacotheNorth@WelshLabour Every poll. Every voxpop. Every feeling in your bones
Every look at the record. Every look at the nation
Every sense of what a "fairer" Wales should be
Tells you that Labour shouldn’t be within a mile of having the tiniest, most junior role in govt come May 8
But we'll see
Ein polisïau yn gryno

We specifically mention the Welsh diaspora in our manifesto (link below)
As with most challenges we face, the root cause of depopulation in Wales is our weak economy
We extend a hearty Croeso to entrepreneurial and innovative people wanting to move to Wales. And we'd be happier still to say Croeso 'nol - to those who choose to return to grow their businesses here
But Hiraeth alone is not enough to make this happen
This is why GWLAD is the only party with the mindset, and the policies to encourage wealthy people to settle in Wales, to improve the Welsh tax base, and give our native businesses greater awareness of the power of private investment, rather than the unsustainable, and often ineffective lottery of funding by the public sector

They say we’re too small.
They say no one has heard of us.
They say we’re splitting the vote.
But how does any new political party begin?
With passion.
With values.
With courage.
We will not stop.
"Despite its many faults, this new voting system means that you can vote for who you want" says @bethwintercynon
Here at GWLAD we're proud to stand up for our policies. We're happy to promote them ahead of anything else we might choose to say
Not for us the negative message of "Vote for X to stop Y", which is, unfortunately, pretty widespread
Simple. If you like GWLAD, vote GWLAD (and please consider contributing to our campaign at https://t.co/9o3OhAbLUL
The GWLAD manifesto contains a selection of innovative ideas aimed at fixing the Welsh economy. These include policies aimed at attracting wealthy people to Wales (or better still, back to Wales) and networking with the Welsh diaspora
Generally, these ideas are a radical alternative to the one-size-fits-all policies of raising taxes and increasing public spending espoused by the legacy parties
Thank goodness for socials, because if it was left to the dying media in Wales far fewer people would know about them!

Wales Online 23 August 2025 - "... Wales’ schools system has been ranked the worst in the UK five times running in the international Pisa tests"
You'd think by now, after 30 years of failure, WG would understand the difference between an action and an outcome
When it came to educational outcomes, Wales used to be near the top of the tree. It breaks our hearts what Labour, supported by Plaid, have done to our dear country. Throw them out and don't let them sneak back in. Vote Gwlad!

Are the people of Wales actually going to vote for @RUKWales when they have this as an alternative.
Watch please 🙏 before you vote in May 👇 this is Jeremy Davies candidate for Gwynedd & Maldwyn, he says “I’m standing because I believe Wales cannot become independent, or truly flourish, without economic independence.”
Let's get this petition to first stop of 10k signatures so Govt have to put their response on record:
Protect the Right to Live Without a Digital ID

@ChazzerEvans@Gwlad_Gwlad@drdavidbull @DanThomas72574 Reform does not stand for Welsh independence. Also Reform's industrial and economic policies, such as they are, are often interventionist and statist. Gwlad believes in a private sector free market economy as in Scandinavia. Tiny Iceland let the banks go bust. So no deal.
