Plaid Cymru's Betrayal of Wales

Gwynfor Evans (1912-2005) stands as one of the most significant figures in modern Welsh political history. As a lawyer and a scholar, Evans founded Plaid Cymru's electoral success when he became the party's first MP in a stunning by-election victory which sent shockwaves through the British political establishment. His commitment to Welsh independence was absolute - most famously demonstrated in 1980 when he threatened to fast unto death unless the Conservative government honoured its promise to establish S4C, ultimately forcing Margaret Thatcher's hand. Evans represented a Wales rooted in chapel culture, rural communities, and unwavering moral conviction, serving as both politician and cultural guardian until his death.

Gwynfor Evans: The Giant They've Abandoned

Gwynfor Evans didn't just represent Wales—he was Wales. The first Plaid MP who won Carmarthen in 1966 through sheer moral authority, Evans embodied everything modern Plaid has systematically destroyed: Christian conviction, genuine patriotism, and unwavering principle over political opportunism¹. While today's Plaid politicians chase Twitter likes and Guardian op-eds, Evans was prepared to starve himself to death for Welsh-language television. That is the difference between a statesman and the career politicians who've hijacked his legacy.

Evans understood that true nation-state politics meant Wales governing itself—not begging Brussels bureaucrats for permission to exist. He envisioned a Europe of proud, sovereign nations, not the globalist superstate that today's Plaid worships with embarrassing servility.

The Shameful Sellout: Plaid's Prostitution to Labour

The three-year cooperation agreement with Welsh Labour (2021-2024) wasn't politics—it was prostitution. Plaid sold their souls for committee seats and the illusion of influence, becoming Labour's useful idiots while Wales burned around them.

What did Welsh voters get for this betrayal? Nothing. NHS waiting lists and an ambulance service that are a national scandal. Schools failing our children. Farmers driven to despair by green zealotry. Small businesses crushed by ideological madness like blanket 20mph limits that have turned Wales into a laughingstock.

When the deal finally collapsed over Vaughan Gething's corruption scandals, Plaid's response wasn't principled opposition—it was the whimpering of a discarded lapdog. Rhun ap Iorwerth's "withdrawal" was too little, too late, and fooled absolutely nobody about Plaid's fundamental weakness.

Woke Colonialism: How Plaid Became Wales' Enemy

Today's Plaid Cymru is a colonial occupation force imposing alien values on Welsh communities. They've abandoned the Wales of chapel, coal, and community for the synthetic grievances of metropolitan elites. Their agenda reads like a checklist from the most extreme London think tanks:

• 20mph speed limits that strangle local economies and make Wales a national joke
• Cycle lanes nobody uses, destroying town centers and small businesses
• Agricultural vandalism disguised as climate policy, bankrupting the farmers who are Wales' backbone
• Sexualising children through inappropriate education while excluding parents
• Open borders propaganda through "Schools of Sanctuary"—code for undermining national sovereignty
• Trans ideology forced on schools, destroying women's rights and parental authority.

This isn't Welsh national brokerage—it's cultural vandalism funded by foreign NGOs and globalist institutions who despise everything Wales represents.

The Destruction of Welsh Identity

Under Plaid's watch, Wales is dying. Not the political entity—the soul of Wales. Rural communities are collapsing. Young people flee because there are no opportunities. Traditional industries are regulated out of existence. The Welsh language becomes a bureaucratic weapon rather than a living culture.

Plaid's response? More diversity officers. More climate targets. More lectures about pronouns. They've become the undertakers of Welsh civilisation, hastening its death while claiming to be its saviours.

Gwynfor's Verdict: Guilty of Treason

Gwynfor Evans would view today's Plaid as traitors to Wales. Every principle he fought for—self-determination, Christian values, community solidarity, national dignity—has been sacrificed on the altar of progressive respectability.

Evans faced prison for his convictions. Today's Plaid politicians can't even face criticism on social media without crying about "hate speech." Evans built a movement; they've built a career ladder for mediocre graduates who hate the Wales they claim to represent.

The Reckoning: Why Plaid Must Be Destroyed

Plaid Cymru is beyond reform—it requires complete destruction.

Every vote for Plaid is a vote against Wales, against your community, against your children's future. They are not the opposition to Labour—they are Labour's enablers, providing cover for policies that are destroying Welsh life.

Welsh voters have real alternatives: Reform UK offers genuine populist nationalism. Traditional conservatives provide stability and common sense. Even abstention is preferable to endorsing Plaid's cultural vandalism.

The Choice: Wales or Wokeness

The 2026 Senedd election is not about left versus right—it's about Wales versus its destroyers. Plaid Cymru represents everything that is killing Wales: globalist subservience, cultural self-hatred, economic illiteracy, and moral cowardice.

Gwynfor Evans built something beautiful. Modern Plaid has turned it into something obscene. The kindest thing Welsh voters can do is put this zombie party out of its misery. Wales deserves better. Wales demands better.

Wales will get better—but only after Plaid Cymru is consigned to the dustbin of history where it belongs.

The time for polite disagreement is over. Plaid Cymru is not just wrong—it is Wales' enemy. Vote accordingly.
