Policies

Plaid Cymru offer a truly radical and ambitious programme for government, coupled with the promise of putting Wales' future in Wales' hands.

Our manifesto will finally tackle the problems of the prior pandemic in Wales; low wages, child poverty, and lack of opportunity.

Nothing about Wales today is inevitable, there are no problems which we cannot solve for ourselves.
