Leanne Wood has joined a group that says it may stand candidates against Plaid Cymru

I do love how self-centred politicians are. Yes, start a new party that splinters the PCymru vote. Another bonus for for Reform... 'Ecosocialism'. Good grief.

Mad as a March Hare.

Sounds like a power struggle that will not benefit the Welsh folk at all. If she really wants to help, she needs to make the peace with PC. Power is not always everything, compromise and striving together for a cause and a purpose will always win in the end.

What does an anti-capitalist want? A return to bartering, communism, or something else?

I have no issue with having a new pressure group debating & lobbying on such policy areas & politics from community up is the very best way to counter fascism, but standing candidates is basically 'meat & drink' for Reform, particularly under the new voting system.

Question: Will she be called in by the leadership of Plaid Cymru and asked to explain herself?? In less than a year there is a very real possibility that Plaid Cymru could form the government. Whilst my views on Plaid Cymru are well known, it would be churlish of me not to see such an event as important - even exciting - for the future of Cymru. For nationalists like me working from the sixties onward, regarded with suspicion, even hatred such a event was beyond our wildest dreams. Leeanne Wood and her nineteenth century Marxist fairy tales may well sink this - that's the plan!.

Perhaps Cymru Rising could provide a list of countries that have deployed the socialist model to the benefit of the people. Several socialist countries have enjoyed significant development of the country, but I can't think of a single example where socialism didn't lead to the oppression of the people, usually accompanied by famine and state-sponsored murder of opponents. Perhaps Leanne Wood, and anybody planning to support this group, might wish to read Animal Farm.

Reform UK has one route to power in next year's elections - if enough people on the centre left and left vote for parties that have no hope of picking up more than a handful of seats - Green Pty, Corbyn's new protest party and any other.

Lol....you've obviously missed plaid's staunch defence of the welfare state from UK Labour's attacks under Rhun's leadership.

Cymru’n Codi isnt a registered political party - in that respect in what way is it different to organisations like Yes Cymru? And many members of Plaid Cymru are also members of Yes Cymru.

That would be a shame. Leanne is a natural born leader with one of the sharpest political minds. Her loss if it happens would be a blow for Plaid.

I agree that more socialism would benefit Cymru. More socialism would be of great benefit to "principle of pobl, planed, heddwch, or people, planet and peace – not profit.".. So why does Leanne Wood try and take rights away from 51% of the planet i.e. women? Trans women are women started under LW, carried on by AP and Rhun ap I and now PC is the only political party in UK who has refused to acknowledge the Cass Report and the judgement of the Supreme Court on 16th April. Let's have fairness for everyone otherwise it's same old equality but for the people they approve of.

If the polls are correct then Plaid must be doing something right. Granted Labour and the Tories contributing to their own downfall is also a factor, but so far they haven't done anything to deter voters from endorsing them. I wasn't a fan of Leanne Wood when she was leader as I felt that she prioritised her left-wing values over any attempt to try make the party a broad church. I just hope the party can remain united and grasp the opportunity to be the biggest party next year, especially with the prospect of Reform UK gaining ground as well.

Might not be a bad thing; inevitably national parties begin as factions focusing on the single issue of national autonomy. But the reality is that while a desire for greater autonomy may a uniting factor, in other aspects of their politics 'nationalists' may well have rather different perspectives. I remember gradually realizing, after I first moved to Wales sixty years ago, that the overall political instincts of Plaid members in y fro Cymraeg were often quite different from the instincts of Plaid members, say, in the industrial valleys of the south-east. Perhaps inevitable, then, and even arguably a sign of the maturity of the movement, that more than one political faction in support of independence emerges?

Anti-capitalist?! This is absolutely nuts. Capitalism isn't perfect, but without capitalism, Wales would not have grown its economy, hundreds of thousands of jobs would never have been created, Welsh hospitals would lack treatment options, many companies would take their "capitalist" companies to a country that actually wants profit seeking organisations. Seriously, who comes up with this stuff? After many attempts Capitalism remains the undisputed engine of growth & advancement.
