What the Dutch just told us about Wales’ future Simon Hobson, Co-founder of New Wales In the Netherlands, a young leader, Rob Jetten, has emerged as the fresh face of progressivism. His rise offers a simple but profound message: that politics built...

Het kan wel !

Like Jetten, we must say: ‘the time for a new generation has come’.

Our moment of renewal is waiting.

It only asks that we finally believe.

Bigots and Brexit sold us the dark – we deserve the light.

Politics today is a battle between those who cling to shadows and those who reach for sunlight. The shadows whisper that migrants are to blame, that Europe is to blame, that difference is to blame. These are not new lies.

Primates should be granted legal rights Wales should make the historic move of giving all non-human primates the right to life, liberty, and security

Give them the same rights as humans

Forced allegiance from Wales

Why we must ensure this king Charles is preceded by a Republic of Wales

#republic #wales #kingcharles

I love the idea of politics returning to the traditional 'town hall'. In which those who care, travel around Wales and speak with people about, as you say, what they need and want Wales to become. Then we could come together and write our own constitution or a Welsh bill of rights.

Care about Wales' future?

Then you should be listening to #BlueprintCymru

Building a better future for Wales @newwales.bsky.social

Here's where to listen, media.rss.com/blueprint-cy...

Getting into the zone to solve the shortage of decent housing in Wales The continuing housing catastrophe in Cymru, including a dearth of decent housing, invites innovation in strategies

Is Wales short of housing or do too many of the 'wrong sort' have access to property?

Could we in Wales continue innovating policies and start building homes from materials other than bricks and mortar?

I argue, 'yes!' to both these questions.

And that they need to take every opportunity to work with those who want to innovate (many of these are younger farming families) and further modernise agriculture and food production.

Farming as is has a place in the management of our landscape. And that should be supported through some public funding. But the reverse of this is for farmers to except certain unprofitable practices must go.

No to a referendum: the enemy of an independent Cymru The making of a sovereign Cymru has to come through representative democracy, not through a referendum with all its dangers

A plebiscite is not the answer

When a representative democracy resorts to a referendum to resolve a question, it is abandoning the keystone of its own system.

Fermenting the future: sovereignty could add £100bn to the Welsh agricultural sector An independent Wales can take care of its farmers and landscapes, and mitigate climate change, via agricultural sovereignty and innovation

How does Wales make more of its farming and care for its wildlife?
