After 100 years, is Plaid Cymru on the verge of leading Wales?

On Maes in PWLLHELI, a mobile sign on the pavement advertises a shop goods: “Tarot, Crystal, Wikka, Reiki.”

Take a look over the shop window and you will see another sign, a blink-e-u-miss-fall plaque.

In Welsh, it reads: “Pladnadelethol Simru was established in a meeting here on 5 August 1925.”

It is an inconsistent view, which considers the political importance of the location.

To write a new chapter in Welsh political history, six people from two separate nationalist groups met a century ago a century ago during the week of the National Easades in this corner of the Lilin Peninsula.

In day to day politics, it is easy to indulge in hyperbole. The dizzy speed of events can distort our decision as their real importance.

But take a history of 100 years, and you get a clear view of the party’s influence on the country and its people.

So, what to make Plaid Cymru, because it reaches its centenary?

“Plad Cymru has now come into the mainstream of political life,” said former plaid MP and member of the assembly, Cynog Dafis.

For the brain of Elin Jones, the current llywydd (presiding officer of Welsh Parliament) and a minister of the East-Plan Welsh Government: “The party needs its role as an alternative leftist of the Center Party of Government.”

The first female leader of the party, Lean Wood reflected: “What will I put on the report card of Plaid Simru after 100 years? Good effort, great enthusiasm, can do better.”

Mark Drakeford, the lecturer of the former University of Wood and the fourth Labor First Minister of Wales, says: “I think Pland Simaru is now in important parts, a party of protest rather than a party of the government.”

Whereas Nick Born, former leader of Welsh Orthodox in Cardiff Bay and one of the opposition leaders, who were closest to topping the Welsh government after failing. 2007 coalition talksSaid: “I think if someone asks members of the Welsh people, then what you recognize with Plaid Simru will clearly call freedom, language and culture.

“Will they identify another policy? I’m not sure I can be honest.

“So I think Pland is a challenge for Cymru,” he said.

In its establishment, the plaid was primarily a social movement.

The original six were inspired by ambition to promote Welsh language and its culture, as well as securing self-government for Wales.

In the case where there is deviation in Wales, the number of Welsh speakers is minimal stable, and cultural institutions are abundantly.

But has a political party not eventually not underwent from its records in ballot?

It took more than 40 years since its inception, until 1966, in the Westminster by -election in Carmerton, to create its big success for Plan Simaru.

“It was an earth-creating result and was also an era-making,” said former plaid leader Defid Vigley.

And yet, Ginfor Evans lost the seat in the next general election – he would recover the constituency in later votes.

Despite the strange good results – especially the first Welsh Assembly Election in 1999 – this has been a patch and often a bad electoral record. The self-drank “party of Wales” has fallen behind the labor and is struggling to register in many parts of Wales.

The locations of the two eisteddfods that currently book the history of the plaid – PWLLHELI in 1925, and the gathering in Wrexham this week where the party will celebrate its centenary – describe the point.

The PWLLHELI region in Westminster was taken to Pland Cymru till 1974, but it is now correct in the heart of the party’s election fort on the west coast.

On the other hand, Wrexham, has never come close to choosing a plaid MP or SenedD member.

The party has never won the Wales-Wide election, and has never been the first minister.

And yet, as the real purpose of the plaid, it has been constant tension within the party – is it an agent that changes Wales or does it pressurize labor to move in the same direction?

Back in 2021, Plaid Simru, came third in the Center for that year, signed a cooperation agreement with the Welsh Labor Government to ensure that some of its policies would look at the daylight.

Speaking at the steps of Sendd after the announcement of the deal, the then plaid leader, Adam Price said: “Plaid Simru is not the most important word for us, Plad is not the most important word – Wales comes first for us every time.”

The party has a different ambition, nine months away from the next election examination and with a new leader of the hull, Raun AP IORWERTH.

Vigley himself believes that he was not ready to lead in 1999, the best cardif bay election results till now: “We did our job as an opposition party and had a platform for the government, but we just didn’t get all the ducks in a line, as it was.”

With 2026 vision, Plads are now very high sets on their eyes and, if some referendum surveys are believed, it can actually happen.

Next year’s sand election, with A new voting system The more contemplative of the vote cast, giving shape to be the most attractive since the onset of deviation

Can Labor maintain the party’s Rolls Royce Campaign operation to maintain its grip on power? Has reform UK stealing the show and shaking the installed order?

Or is it the time of cymru?

That chapter of history is yet to be written.
