		Dafydd Wigley (formerly David Wigley; born 1 April 1943) is a Welsh politician.
		Wigley was born in Derby, England, but attended Caernarfon grammar school and Rydal Penrhos independent school before going on to the Victoria University of Manchester and training as an accountant.
		Wigley's triumph in 1981 was largely a pyrrhic victory - he won the presidency, but Elis Thomas would have a greater influence over the party's ideology throughout the 80s.

		The Rt Hon Dafydd Wigley (born April 1, 1943) is a Welsh politician.
		Some party members have been critical of Dafydd Wigley's tactics of distancing Plaid from its traditional defence of the Welsh Language, and blame Plaid's decline on this, particularly in the Party's heartland of North West Wales.
		Wigley's old seat of Caernarfon is very vulnerable to the Labour Party, Carmarthen is even more vulnerable, and the resurgence of the Liberal Democrats puts Ceredigion at risk.

	Talk:Plaid Cymru - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In retrospect Dafydd Wigley's tactics of distancing Plaid from its traditional defence of the Welsh Language, and thus the Party's heartland of North West Wales, in exchange for a more "All Wales" Nationalism, has proven to be disastrous.
		Wigley chose short term profit over long term survival and as a result distanced Plaid from its core voters.
		Wigley's old seat of Caernarfon is very vulnerable to a pro-Labour swing, and if a general election was held today, Plaid would probably lose it.

		WIGLEY: There are indications that that's happening again, that Tony Blair is going to allow some of the Labour rebels in Wales - and we're seeing them raising their heads again in the last couple of weeks - they're going to campaign against the Labour Party's policies.
		WIGLEY: That assembly will only be of use to the people of Wales if it can make a difference and if, indeed, the laws within which it has to act, not only in terms of Health and Education, but in terms of Employment, in terms of Environment and Agriculture.
		WIGLEY: Yes, it's true that a lot of progress has been made with regard to the Welsh language and that's why in the 1997-98 period it will be very different to 1979.

	Ieuan Wyn Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was previously president of the party, from 2000, after Dafydd Wigley stood down due to health problems.
		His predecessor, Dafydd Wigley, had been a dominant force in Welsh politics and Wyn Jones undoubtedly found it difficult to follow on as leader, especially as Wigley's big gains in the 1999 Assembly elections had created new tensions inside the party.
		Wyn Jones remains opposed to the use of the term independence (preferring full national status) to describe the party's constitutional aims, but new party president Dafydd Iwan is a strong supporter of independence and this is now, explicitly, the party's aim.
