Nationalist political party in Wales
Gwlad ([ɡwlaːd] lit. ' country ' or ' nation ' in Welsh ) is a centre-right [3] Welsh nationalist and pro-independence political party. Its current leader is Gwyn Wigley Evans.
Background [ edit ]
In late 2017, a preliminary meeting was held by Royston Jones[4] in Aberystwyth over the formation of a new pro-Welsh independence party.[5] Ein Gwlad (English: Our Nation ) was founded in Llanelli , with Gwyn Wigley Evans as its leader.[5] [5] [6]
In February 2019, Ein Gwlad changed its name to Gwlad Gwlad (English: Nation Nation ).[1] 2019 United Kingdom general election , the party announced its intention to stand candidates in the four Welsh seats where Plaid Cymru had stood down in favour of other parties taking an anti-Brexit position as part of the "Unite to Remain " pact: Brecon and Radnorshire , Cardiff Central , Montgomeryshire and the Vale of Glamorgan .[7] Lib Dems , the Greens and Plaid , without local consultation of any sort. By standing in the four constituencies, we want to give an opportunity for people to cast a vote for real Welsh independence. A large number of people asked us to step into the breach, and this is what we have done."[8] [9] [10] [11]
On 24 March 2020, Gwlad Gwlad changed its name to just Gwlad.[1]
The party stood candidates in 14 of the 40 parliamentary constituencies in the 2021 Senedd election and a full slate of four candidates in each of the five Senedd regional lists .[12] [13] 2021 election for a Police and Crime Commissioner for the Gwent Police area.[14] Ynysybwl and Coed-y-cwm Community Council .[15] [16]
On 21 September 2021, Gwlad was fined £200 by the Electoral Commission for late delivery of weekly donations and transactions reports for the 2019 UK general election, as well as the late delivery of its campaign spending return.[17]
Policies [ edit ]
Gwlad, which describes itself as "the first syncretic party in Wales",[6] Wales , including the creation of a separate currency[12] [18] Brexit referendum in 2016, in which Wales voted 52% to Leave.[19] Senedd to Llandudno Junction .[20] [21]
Despite being labelled "a Welsh UKIP " by some critics,[6] [19] s ] to move away from the Westminster circus" and that his party was "working hard to promote the cause for independence by attracting the 90 per cent of Welsh electorate who do not vote for Plaid Cymru."[8]
