Introduction
Assuming Wales eventually becomes independent, this website is a draft version of a possible Constitution for Wales.
Why do we need a written Constitution?
As far as meeting the obligations of good government - reducing poverty, ensuring the safety of the people, equality, bringing hope, bringing opportunity so wealth is spread fairly, etc - for the vast majority the UK's unwritten constitution has clearly failed on multiple levels but it has served the political and super wealthy elites well. Therefore the chances are low that the UK can get a written constitution that could address the huge failures of the British state.
So we now have no option in Wales but to address this challenge ourselves. By tapping the potentials that the people of Wales have, such as courage, resilience, wisdom, love, we can create a written constitution that is a beacon of hope for those everywhere who value good government.
Please note - A Welsh translation is under development.
This draft is open to comment and proposed amendments. It will be continually updated.
