Plaid Cymru logo - a pretty poppy

The "Party of Wales". Despite the opportunity to use a freaking DRAGON as their logo, they chose a rather pretty geometric poppy.

History[edit | edit source]

The party formed in 1925 but it took until 1966 for them to first win a seat.

By 2012 had 1 of 4 Welsh seats in the European Parliament, 3 of 40 Welsh seats in the Parliament of the United Kingdom, 11 of 60 seats in the National Assembly for Wales, and 206 of 1,264 principal local authority councillors.

The current leader of the party is Leanne Wood.

Policy[edit | edit source]

Their biggest goal is to make Wales an independent country. Unfortunately, most of the people in Wales do not want to be independent and are generally pretty chill on the issue of devolution.

Other than that, the party was socialism, social justice and for everyone to speak both English and Welsh.

Portrayal[edit | edit source]

Most people outside Wales don't pay the party much attention. However, they were invited to take part in the 2015 leaders' debates which raised the party's profile.
