Enjoy:
1)What matters is that we have the constitutional, environmental, legal, and social systems in place for a fair & sustainable country: this means creating a constitutional arrangement & constitution that guarantees environmental, human, and legal rights that go far beyond UK law
2)The priority should be building a national framework fit for the 21st Century, containing all the constitutional, environmental, legal, and social systems necessary for a fair & sustainable country, and proving what is necessary to achieve it.
3)The strengths of the current system are continually undermined by its weaknesses. The strength is in Cymru being able to decide things for itself but when it cannot fund those decisions by its own Central Bank, then Westminster has ultimate control. We wish to protect the...
current Welsh Government’s powers but know it needs more and, as the UK Government has recently proved by undermining the Trade Unions (Wales) Act 2017, we know that any law made by the Welsh Government can be removed by the UK Government - what we might wish to keep is...
irrelevant when the UK Government can remove it for political expediency, or on a whim.
4)The Powers of the UK monarch and the system of establishment patronage which supports the monarchy is both undemocratic and unaccountable. Arguably this system of royal patronage undermines the principle of the common good in Wales. Such an archaic system of privilege has no...
place in the modern nation of Wales and should be destroyed in its entirety and replaced. Senedd Members and those serving the public should be swearing an oath of allegiance and service not to the monarch, but the people they represent. These powers should be transferred to...
the representatives of the people of Wales. The lands and holdings known as the crown estates should be nationalised and held by the Welsh Government on behalf of y Cymry. The problems of intergovernmental relations between the UK Government and the Welsh Government can be...
resolved by giving each nation of the UK all the powers of a sovereign country and their own central bank, to best encourage each nation to do best by its people and its geography.
5)In order to truly make a positive difference to the lives of the peoples of Wales (after all, that’s what politics should be about), it is our position that in so long as radical governance of Wales is a possibility and likely, we should seek independence from the UK. ...
The current balance of power has shown us that Welsh democratic processes making decisions about Wales has proved the most effective. In that regard, devolution as a process must be advanced to its natural conclusion.
6)Wales is not yet a distinct nation-state. Cymru is a nation without a state. We should be governed as a sovereign nation-state; notable here is a Welsh central bank in order to enable us to enact policy, & sovereignty over the area of ‘Cymru’ where states may not interfere. ...
In short, Wales should be independent.
7)What is most important is that Wales should be governed for the purpose of putting people and the environment first, not profit - this should be set in a constitution that creates a sustainable culture of a democratic socialist republic in an independent Wales. ...
Any changes to the constitution of Wales should be part of a nation-wide consultation through a system of regional events and roadshows to ensure wide participation and engagement in the consultation process which should be based on three principles.
8 / cwestion am dyfodol yr iaith Cymraeg) Strengthening and developing the Welsh language should happen regardless, but we believe that the best hope for the future of our shared language and culture lies in a sovereign and independent Cymru.
So there we have it!

They're grouped around the South East of England.
That bottom 10%?
A great number of them are here in Wales.
We're staring down ~2/3rds of Cymru living in fuel poverty in 2023.
