New Wales

New Wales is a new think tank for Wales More than ever we need intensive and purposeful discussions as a nation to map our future. At the moment, Wales is by far the poorest nation in the United Kingdom. This can only change through our own efforts - history and experience show that progress and positive transformation are rarely delivered by others. It is inevitable that the constitutional settlement of the existing Union will change. It is only a matter of time until Northern Ireland moves to unite with the Republic of Ireland. Although Scotland seems to have been split in two by the independence debate, the clear suggestion from demographic data is that the pressure to change its status within the Union is going to increase. The whole of Wales must consider our relationship with and within the current state so that we can choose our own future. With the report of the constitutional commission for Wales, published in January 2024, as a foundation, Cymru Newydd/New Wales will build on the results and the work done under the stewardship of Dr Rowan Williams and Professor Laura McAllister. The report put forward a number of possible options for Wales in the future and our work will expand on this through research, ideas, lively and open debates. We utterly reject the long tradition of parking comprehensive reports and letting them collect dust whilst they are quietly ignored. The future of Wales and the fate of its people are too important. We would like to invite you to be part of our efforts. Melin drafod newydd i Gymru yw Cymru Newydd. Mae dyfodol Cymru a ffawd ei phobol yn rhy bwysig. Hoffwn eich gwahodd i fod yn rhan o’r ymdrech.
