  Politics of Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wales is a constituent country of the United Kingdom.
Since the late 19th century assorted groups have argued for varying measures of devolution or ‘home rule’ for Wales and in 1964 the establishment of the Welsh Office enshrined a measure of territorial governance.
This body, while unable to pass primary legislation, absorbed most of the executive and secondary legislative functions of the Secretary of State for Wales in areas such as health, education, transport, the environment and local government.

 Wales/Temp
Wales has been a principality -- since the 13th century, initially under the Welsh prince Llywelyn the Great, and later under his grandson, Llywelyn the Last, who took the title Prince of Wales around 1258, and was recognised by the English Crown in 1277 by the Treaty of Aberconwy.
Glyn Dwr was proclaimed Prince of Wales, and sought assistance from the French, but by 1409 his forces were scattered under the attacks of King Henry IV of England and further measures imposed against the Welsh.
The Prince of Wales is a title given by the reigning British monarch to his or her eldest son, but in modern times the Prince does not live in Wales or have anything to do with its administration or government, although he visits frequently.

Wales is bounded by the Irish Sea (N), by the Bristol Channel (S), by the English counties of Cheshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, and Gloucestershire (E), and by Cardigan Bay and St. George’s Channel (W).
Wales comprises 22 administrative divisions (unitary authorities): Flintshire, Wrexham, Denbighshire, Conwy, Anglesey, Gwynedd, Powys, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Bridgend, Vale of Glamorgan, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Merthyr Tydfil, Cardiff, Caerphilly, Blaenau Gwent, Torfaen, Newport, and Monmouthshire.
The strong hold of evangelical Protestantism on Wales was to make the establishment of the Church of England there the dominant question in Welsh politics in the later 19th cent.; one of the last acts of Parliament that applied to Wales alone was the disestablishment of the church in 1914.

 ::Wales and Devolution::
Wales, along with Scotland and Northern Ireland, was promised a devolved assembly by the Labour Party in the lead up to the 1997 election.
Devolution promised to be a key issue in Wales but the turnout at the post-election referendum in 1997 for whether Wales should have a devolved assembly seemed to indicate that enthusiasm for devolution was lukewarm.
Wales turned towards the issue of devolution during the era of Thatcher and Major — the Tory years of 1979 to 1997.

But in the mining areas of South Wales issues such as public health, wages, housing and working conditions were becoming more important, and working class liberals, such as William Abraham, or Mabon, were growing more popular.
During the General Strike of 1926, the miners and political activists of South Wales demonstrated their commitment to the working classes and their struggles.
The successful miners’ strike of 1972 bolstered political confidence, but with the mining industry in rapid decline, the closure of countless collieries and the failure of the 1984/85 miners strike, this optimism proved to be unfounded.

Wales's first minister, Rhodri Morgan, is a thoroughly decent man who is, no doubt, prepared to turn his nose up at some of the Thatcherite extremes of Mr Blair and co. But to paint him as a socialist redeemer would be stretching reality.
The reason Labour in Wales is being forced to use the s word is because it has in Plaid Cymru an opponent with far greater socialist credibility and a political party that has robbed Labour of its traditional dominance in south Wales.

Throughout, politics is presented as a highly participatory process, one in which ideals and principles played a key role for both candidates and voters alike.
It was into this world that the typically 'Welsh' style of radical politics, imbued with the values of militant dissent and armed with new conception of national identity, was born in the 1860s.
Weaving that singular political phenomenon back into its contemporary setting and recognising the extent to which its ideas have monopolised modern accounts of Welsh political history, is the purpose of this stimulating and, at times, controversial book.

Giraldus Cambrensis (Gerald of Wales) or Gerald De Barri, to give his Norman name, one of the greatest Welsh writers in Latin, was born at Manorbier, Pembrokeshire around 1146.
Failing to be appointed to St. David's, Gerald maintained that it was the fear of the effect that it would have on the national politics in Wales that prevented his appointment.
Around the same time that Giraldus Cambrensis was making the name of Wales famous throughout the Anglo-Norman world, another writer was hard at work producing a masterpiece that had to wait many centuries to be appreciated outside the borders of Wales.
