Leanne Wood today announces her intention to seek nomination as a candidate for the leadership of Plaid Cymru.

The campaigning AM since 2003 promised to prioritise the economy in moving towards ‘real independence’ for Wales. She received an immediate boost to her campaign with the endorsement of Carmarthen East and Dinefwr MP Jonathan Edwards.

Leanne’s ‘Greenprint’ document which will form the basis of the party’s local election manifesto is a 1930s ‘new deal’ style job creation plan based on placing Wales’ abundant natural resources in the control of the Welsh people, securing self-sufficiency and food sovereignty in response to the economic crisis, and the development of a native Welsh economy.

Her campaign will be based on those types of practical ideas and gearing Plaid Cymru to be able to respond to the turbulent political times ahead.
