WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
Peoples Voice Cymru is not a political party, it exists to inform the peoples of Wales about the realties of the continuing loss of our freedoms! These freedoms were fought for by our forebears over many years. At the forefront of the fight for peoples rights were the Chartists. By the end of 1838, several branches had been founded across Monmouthshire, the first was at Pontypool, probably in 1837. It was towards the end of July 1838 that a branch was formed at Newport. Its founders were baker William Edwards and veteran radical and printer Samuel Etheridge. Soon afterwards, the draper and magistrate, John Frost was also involved in its meetings. A characteristic of the membership of the WMAs in their early days was the prevalence of artisans and tradesmen.
On Monday 4 November 1839, approximately 4,000 Chartist sympathisers, under the leadership of Chartists led by Zephaniah Williams from Tredegar, William Jones from Pontypool and their leader John Frost, set off from all over the Gwent valleys to march on Newport. The attack failed and the three leaders were sent has convicts to Australia, with John Frost the only one to return and eventually became the Mayor of Newport.
We too must fight to retain our freedoms, so please use your vote!
Democracy Denied: The Coalition That Wales Didn’t Vote For
In a country where the ballot box is meant to speak louder than backroom deals, Wales now finds itself staring down a political betrayal. Reform UK leads the vote. The people will have spoken. Yet Plaid Cymru and Labour—two parties whose combined record has failed to deliver meaningful change—are now whispering of a coalition. Not to Honour the public will, but to override it.
This isn’t democracy. It’s damage control.
For years, Plaid and Labour have danced around each other in Cardiff Bay, trading gestures of cooperation while Wales stagnates. Our NHS buckles. Our schools falter. Our communities—especially in the Valleys—are left behind. And what do we get in return? More commissions. More consultations. More slogans about “progressive values” while working families struggle to heat their homes and young people leave in search of opportunity.
Now, with Reform surging, Plaid and Labour are scrambling—not to reflect, not to reform, but to cling to power. They call it a “fresh start.” We call it a stitch-up.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t about endorsing Reform’s policies. It’s about respecting the democratic principle that the people choose their leaders—not party elites. If Plaid and Labour truly believed in accountability, they’d face the electorate with honesty. Instead, they’re preparing to govern without a mandate, propped up by a partnership that has already failed Wales before.
This moment demands more than quiet outrage. It demands a reckoning.
Peoples Voice Cymru stands for transparency, dignity, and the right of every citizen to be heard—not managed. We reject the politics of convenience. We call for a Wales where leadership is earned, not arranged.
If Plaid and Labour form a coalition to block the leading party, they must answer one question:
Who do you serve —your voters, or yourselves?
RESPECT THE WILL AND THE VOTES OF THE PEOPLE
High hopes....followed by the failure to inspire
Echoes in Glass: The Senedd and the Silence of Promise
It was meant to be a turning point.
The Senedd rose from Cardiff Bay with high ideals etched into its architecture—transparency, accountability, a voice for Wales. Glass walls to reflect the people. Open chambers to echo their concerns. A building that breathed democracy.
But somewhere between blueprint and reality, the pulse faded.
Today, the Senedd stands as a monument to promise, but a mausoleum of potential. It governs, yes. But does it inspire? Does it stir the soul of a nation that has always fought to be heard? We were told this would be our voice. What we got was an echo.
Despite its powers over the economy, health, education, and culture, the Senedd has struggled to ignite public imagination. Voter turnout limps. Legislative ambition stalls. And the chamber that was meant to resonate with the people often whispers in policy-speak, cautious and distant.
People’s Voice Cymru is calling for a new kind of engagement—one that challenges the Senedd to live up to its founding ideals. Through visual storytelling, public dialogue, and unapologetic critique, we aim to reignite the fire that once burned in Welsh civic life.
Because democracy isn’t just built. It’s lived. And it’s time the Senedd remembered who it was built for.
in Praise of Welsh Coal Miners
They were the backbone of an empire and the soul of a nation. Beneath the green hills of Wales, generations of miners descended into darkness—not for glory, but for survival, for family, for Wales.
Mining towns weren’t just settlements—they were tight-knit ecosystems of resilience. Rows of terraced houses, chapels, union halls, and brass bands formed the cultural spine of South Wales.
The miners’ camaraderie extended beyond the pit: they built libraries, choirs, rugby clubs, and political movements. Their solidarity birthed the Labour movement and shaped modern Welsh identity.
From the Merthyr Rising of 1831 to the Tower Colliery workers’ buyout in the 1990s, Welsh miners didn’t just dig—they defied. They stood up to injustice, fought for dignity, and reclaimed their future. Even as the mines closed, their legacy lives on—in song, in memory, in the moral architecture of Wales.
Welsh Steelmaking and the World
Merthyr Tydfil was once the iron capital of the world, and Ebbw Vale hosted one of Europe’s largest steelworks. Welsh steel laid the tracks of railways, built ships, and reinforced cities across continents.
Welsh steel has long been exported for use in construction, automotive, and infrastructure projects worldwide. Port Talbot’s integrated steelworks, with its own port, was designed for global trade.
Steelmaking isn’t just an industry—it’s a cultural backbone. Towns grew around mills, and generations found identity in the work. The decline hit hard, but the legacy remains deeply woven into Welsh civic life.
With climate pressures mounting, Wales is exploring “green steel” production—reducing emissions while staying globally competitive.
Welsh Farming under attack by Welsh Government
Welsh sheep farming is among the most sustainable in the world, relying on natural grass and rainwater. It’s a model of low-intensity, climate-conscious agriculture.
Farmers warn that Welsh Government’s post-Brexit agricultural policy risks sidelining domestic food production in favour of environmental schemes. While sustainability is vital, productivity and food security must not be sacrificed.
Rising costs for feed, fuel, and fertiliser—up 22% in a year—combined with falling lamb prices, have created a “perfect storm” for producers. Many small family farms are struggling to stay afloat.
Increased volumes of chilled New Zealand lamb entering the UK market are undercutting Welsh producers.
