It is fascinating to see that YesCymru see it as advantageous to denigrate the party that will form the next UK government. Do the few people directing YC realise that Wales will need to build alliances in Westminster to achieve the maximum benefit for our country? That is the realpolitik. YesCymru, to our dismay, has been dismissed by UK Labour as the marching wing of Plaid Cymru ( – an amusing insult). YC is still not making any political impact and will not, until it realises that a professional political lobby is more important than preaching to the choir.
Organisations objecting to any political parties sharing YesCymru events are sticking to YC’s principles. It is revealing that Gwynfil describes them as ‘guilty parties’ – no doubt because they are treading on his own politics. Either YC remains politically neutral or it runs a strong risk of being seen to favour nationalist views. There are many committed and uncommitted citizens of Cymru who can be persuaded to vote for independence but not against this background when the CEO of YesCymru leads a politically biased charge.

I am surprised that YC’s CEO should publish such a biased political article based on his own opinions (to which he is entitled, of course). YesCymru is non-partisan or it will fail. This article should be withdrawn and Gwynfil should apologise
