CHOOSE HOPE! CHOOSE PLAID

On Thursday 7th May 2026, Wales has a historic opportunity to choose a better future 


A government that finally stands up for Wales in a way that's never been seen before.


This election is a choice between:


  • Hope or division.

  • Credibility or chaos.

  • Plaid Cymru or Reform UK.


We've already shown what's possible in Caerffili. 


Now it's time to do the same across the whole of Wales 


Plaid Cymru has an ambitious and deliverable plan to:


  •  Tackle waiting lists and build an NHS that's fit for the future
  •  Support families with the cost of living

  •  Create good, well-paid jobs in a stronger economy

  •  Raise standards in our schools

  •  Tackle child poverty



Stand up for Wales - demanding the powers and funding we need to thrive.


Reform offer the opposite - uncosted promises, division, and no real care for Wales.


After 27 years of Labour - Wales is ready for a fresh start.


A government with new leadership, new ideas, and the ambition to unlock our nation's potential.


The choice on Thursday 7th May 2026 is simple.


Choose hope.


Vote Plaid Cymru.

TIME FOR BETTER CHILDCARE



Plaid Cymru's childcare offer is the most generous in the UK - and would be transformative for families across Wales.


Vote Plaid Cymru on 7th May 2026 for a government that supports families with the cost of living, gets to grips with child poverty, and policies to strengthen the economy.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

We have to heal the deeper wounds of our nation with a post-Covid programme for government designed to create an economy that works for everyone and deliver a fair deal for families. 


A Plaid Cymru Government if elected on May 6th would put in place policies to tackle child poverty and the housing crisis and invest to build the best NHS and social care services with more staff on better pay, and free social care for everyone who needs it.

  • Universal free childcare from 24 months
  • A council tax cut for thousands of families
  • 1,000 new doctors and 5,000 new nurses
The grim statistics tell the story. There are 70,000 children in poverty in Wales that don’t even receive free school meals. 67,000 families on housing waiting lists. Over half of our care workers are paid less than the Real Living Wage. 

Let this be the year when we say no more. No more child hunger. No more homelessness and housing crisis. No more poverty pay. 

Britain isn’t working for us anymore – the Britain of my parents’ generation, a brave and hopeful place, no longer exists, it has been erased and, in its place, we have the moral vacuum that is Westminster. 

The coronavirus pandemic has exposed the reality of modern Britain: a state defined by crushing poverty, ruled by a corrupt elite that gives contracts to its friends and denies furlough to its neighbours.

The future cannot be like the past, we cannot simply accept the fantasy island politics thats emanating from Westminster.  That is why we need to choose to decide our own future. 

The poverty we see around us as a nation is not our destiny. This is our moment of truth. Seize that moment and there is nothing that is impossible and nothing we cannot accomplish.
