Welsh republicanism (original) (raw)

A Welsh republicanism (Welsh: Gweriniaetholdeb Gymreig) or republicanism in Wales (Welsh: Gweriniaetholdeb yng Nghymru) is the political ideology of a Welsh republic, as opposed to Wales being presided over by the monarchy of the United Kingdom. Typically, this ideology is suggested as an element of forming an independent Wales, but can also be considered as part of reforming the government system of the United Kingdom, which could include introducing an elected official as head of state.
