CROESO! / WELCOME!

This is the website of Welsh Labour Grassroots, the network of left and centre-left activists in the Wales Labour Party. We campaign for the democratic renewal of our party and the development of a socialist policy agenda for the 21st century.

We oppose Labour's shift to the right under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, especially policies like the 'War on Terror', the privatisation of many public services and the widening gap between rich and poor.

We strongly support the establishment and strengthening of the Welsh Assembly, both as a democratic advance in itself and because it has allowed Welsh Labour under Rhodri Morgan to pursue a more progressive agenda than that followed by New Labour in England. We welcome the 'clear red water' that now exists between Wales and Westminster in areas like health, education and public services.

We also campaign for greater democracy and transparency in the Labour Party and for the reversal of the changes implemented over the last 20 years, which have concentrated power in the hands of the leadership.
