The world is full of small countries which have powered ahead, economically and socially, since achieving their independence. We believe that Wales should be one of them: a prosperous, successful independent country enjoying good relations with its neighbours and comfortable in its own skin.

This won’t be achieved by wishful thinking; it will take people who are prepared to take a long hard look at Wales as it is today, to see what’s good and what isn’t, and to look for practical, workable solutions. Policies that will grow the Welsh economy, provide real opportunities for people right across the country, and enable everyone who lives here to hold their heads high.

This is GWLAD’s mission.

Gwlad​ is committed to achieving a free and independent Wales in the shortest practical timescale. To establish a free, sovereign and independent Welsh state.
