Plaid Cymru (Party for Wales) A Welsh nationalist party which was formed in 1925 to promote a cultural and linguistic revival, and to call for ‘home rule’ (autonomy) for
Wales. It consistently fought elections from 1929, but support for it only grew significantly in the 1960s. In July 1966, its chairman, Gwynfor Evans, won the Carmarthen by-election. Despite gaining 11.5 per cent of the Welsh vote in 1970, it did not win any seats in a general election until February 1974, when it won Caernarfon and Merioneth. It won two or three seats at every election from then on, until 1992, when it won four seats. It staged a spectacular success in the first elections to the Welsh Assembly in 1999, when it took a number of safe Labour seats as loyal Labour supporters remained at home to protest against government policies. As a result, it became the principal party of opposition within the Welsh Assembly.
