Plaid Cymru

Plaid Cymru (literally meaning, "Party of Wales") is a left-of-centre political party advocating Welsh independence and the promotion of Welsh culture. The name was used from the late 1920s until it was formally changed to Plaid Cymru – The Party of Wales in the late 1990s, partly due to new electoral requirements that a party have an English name. In Wales, the party is often known as simply Plaid or, in Welsh y Blaid.
