Plaid Gomiwnyddol Cymru / The Communist Party of Wales @communists.cymru · 3mo ago

PARTY STATEMENT: On The 2026 Senedd Elections “Wales is at a crossroads. The party that has effectively governed Wales formally and informally for the last century is now struggling to keep its head above the proverbial clear red water that has historically kept it afloat.”

Welsh Underground Network @welshundergroundnetwork.cymru · 3mo ago

Title reads: WE NEED SOCIALISM. Wales needs a party that offers total systemic change.

Below, text reads:

The rich have gutted our public services, jacked up rents & price, ruined our climate and led us into disastrous imperialist wars. Our problems don’t stem from immigrants taking advantage or from a few failed policies, but from a fundamentally exploitative system – capitalism.

When we realise this, it becomes obvious that while one party may be preferable over another, neither is up to tackling the issues facing Wales.

Below, title text reads:

It’s clear Socialism is not on the ballot this election.

Title reads:

WHAT COMES NEXT? Politics is every day, it won’t end once the election is over.

Below, text reads:

The Capitalist system uses elections as a pressure release valve. After the election, politicians expect you to go home, forget about the whole thing and rely on them to sort things out.

Only a movement prepared to go beyond elections is capable of challenging the rule of the rich, of the property-owning class. If we want things to change, we need to build our own independent working class organisations as engines of class power.

Below, title text reads:

Continue onwards towards the Welsh Socialist Republic!

Welsh Underground Network @welshundergroundnetwork.cymru · 3mo ago

Over a century of Welsh Labour dominance is ending, and the next Welsh government will either be led by Plaid Cymru or by Reform. Plaid Cymru are the better option, but its clear they're not offering systemic solutions to Wales' problems. Welsh workers need to build our own independent movement.

Title reads:

WHICH WAY FORWARD?

Below, a row of hexagonal portraits featuring the leaders of the main political parties. From left to right:

Eluned Morgan (Labour), Rhun ap Iorwerth (Plaid Cymru), Anthony Slaughter (Greens), Jane Dodds (Lib Dems), Dan Thomas (Reform), and Darren Millar (Tory).

Below, slightly offset strips feature questions to the reader. From top to bottom:

Plaid Cymru or Reform? Far Right or Centre Left? Nationalism or Unionism? Is this the best we can hope for?

Below, a footer is present, which remains on every page of the statement. The WUN and PGC symbols are placed to either side on this footer. The text reads:

Statement on the 2026 Senedd Elections.

Title reads:

THE END OF AN ERA. Over a Century of Welsh Labour Dominance is Ending.

Below, text reads:

Labour have been a fact of life in Wales, but people have had enough and are looking for alternatives. With such an unprecedented shift in the balance of electoral power in Cymru, the future feels very uncertain.

It is very likely that the next government will be led by either Reform or Plaid Cymru, but with such a chaotic electoral landscape it remains to be seen what exactly that will look like.

Below, title text reads:

Will either party fix what’s wrong with Wales?

Title reads: A FORK IN THE ROAD. What are the two major parties offering?

Below, text reads:

Reform promise to upend Wales with legislative attacks on immigrants, the Welsh language, environmental protections and the LGBTQ+ community. They would also dramatically restructure the Welsh Government, cutting the civil service by 10%.
Plaid Cymru are proposing some welcome but relatively tame policies: seeking more powers for Wales, extending free childcare, establishing new surgical hubs and creating a national renewable energy company.

Below, title text reads: Is this all that our “leaders” can come up with?

Y Seren Goch @yserengoch.cymru · 3mo ago

Nora Rhiannon writes on the hero worship we’ve seen on the left recently, the problem with chasing a “Mamdani moment”, Corbyn vs Polanski vs Iorwerth, and the only solution for the working class. A great read ahead of the Senedd elections, consider who you put your faith in…
