Unfortunately that is how it is with Alternative Welsh Nationalism, Movements, Societies and groups, they ari
se and often sink without trace in the most mysterious of circumstances. Not least with regards to Cymdeithas Cyfamod and then the Welsh Independence Party another potential winner and great loss to the Alternative Nationalist Political Struggle. At least the Patriotic Front had to take the 'Big Hit' in 1969 for it's plots and plans to halt or disrupt the Investiture, more on that very shortly and through the year.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment has been the failure of Welsh Republicanism and in latter years the pathetic ''Grouplets'' of Cymru Rhydd and Balchder Cymru is the best that Alternative Nationalism can throw up, sad but that looks as if it's how Alternative Nationalism will come to demise and end, with out much of a shout but more a weak whimper. Meanwhile PLAID (Far from red, Pink Left, this is not a ref to gays ok) Nationalism has become more or less a partner in a 'Coalition Conspiracy' that takes us no where near Independence as already under foot of the Lord Protector Dafydd Elis Thomas they even move away from a referendum on more powers for the Welsh Assembly.

Here I have to remind one and all of Patriotic mind that DEVOLUTION is no more than efficient management of Wales as a Neo - Colony, for if we have no Parliamentary powers to make laws and raises taxes then it really is all a fraud and the BIG BRIT LIE. Publisher Terry Breverton of late, in a letter to the Western Mail, following on criticism of PLAID made a call for setting up of another 'CYMRU FYDD' or at least a ''common sense'' political party.

Regards Cymru Fydd well we know where the previous version of that went, no where! As for Common Sense, since when have Welsh Nationalists had common sense, for most part it's driven by Cultural Nationalism and a miscellany of CND Pacifism and limp liberalism etc, etc in its main stream. Whilst sadly 'Alternative Nationalism' has for most of the time been driven by Knee Jerk Patriotism, that is apart from WIP and before that WSRM. Possibly, my bet for way forward goes in direction of progressive democrats establishing an INDEPENDENT WELSH LABOUR PARTY in about 2011, which gives you all time to read up on the IWLP of 1911. As for Cultural Nationalism, well unless it gets a grip on itself and returns to the ideas of Adfer and more so, the 'Back to the Land' politics of Plaid Cymru Cultural Nationalism (1925 - 1945) where Language and Culture were more associated with the land than associating it with a Welsh Language Industry, then I fear 'Yr Hen Iaith' is in deep trouble. Here, I think Cymuned and Llais Gwynedd need to get their act together in a 'ANTUR CUNEDDA', but more on that another time.
