Welsh politics

Welsh politics revolves around Wales's devolved government, the Senedd (Welsh Parliament), which has power over areas like health, education, and local government. Politically, Wales has several parties, with Labour traditionally holding significant influence. However, parties like Plaid Cymru (focused on Welsh nationalism) and the Conservatives also play prominent roles. Political issues often include cultural identity, economic development, and public services. Devolution allows Wales to tailor policies to its unique needs, reflecting its distinct language and heritage while also engaging with broader UK politics.
