[13] The Wales Green Party puts up candidates for council, Senedd, and UK Parliament seats.

In April 2023, one of the Wales Green Party's Co-Deputy Leaders, Amerjit Kaur-Dhaliwal, stepped down from their role, saying that "volunteering at this time has become a luxury I can no longer afford, given the cost-of-living crises.

[35][dubious – discuss] In 1990, the Scottish and Northern Irish branches left the UK Greens to form separate parties.

In 1993, the Party won a county council seat on Anglesey (Ynys Môn) after a sitting councillor in the Aethwy ward had joined the Greens, but the Party did not defend this seat or stand any other candidates at the 1995 Isle of Anglesey County Council election two years later.

[37] At the 1992 general election, local Greens entered an electoral alliance with Plaid Cymru in the constituency of Ceredigion and Pembroke North.

The alliance was successful with Cynog Dafis being returned in a surprise result as the MP, defeating the Liberal Democrat incumbent by over 3,000 votes.

[49] In September 2021, Matt Townsend called for the party to become independent from its Westminster counterpart, despite members voting against it three years earlier.

[50] Slaughter told Nation.Cymru in August 2023 that, with the expansion of the Senedd in 2026, he expected Green MSs to be elected for the first time.

[60] The party also supports increasing the minimum wage to £15 an hour, with the cost to small businesses offset by reducing their national insurance.

[62] The current co chairs of the Young Greens of England and Wales are Jane Baston and Luanne Thornton.

[66] The party retained deposits for the first time: in Ceredigion, Cardiff Central and most notably Swansea West with 4.0% swing.

[76] The Wales Green Party formed an electoral pact with Plaid Cymru to fight seats in Cardiff.

[80] Some of the party's key policies for the 2021 Senedd election included: ending fees for people's first university degree, targeting Wales to be carbon net zero by 2030 by replacing fossil fuels with onshore and offshore renewable energy, and introducing free public transport for local journeys for people in Wales aged under 21.

[81] The party also said it would build 12,000 homes to the highest environmental standards and would start a transformation fund to invest in local communities and create thousands of green jobs.

[82] During the campaign, it was initially announced the party would be excluded from taking part in the BBC One Wales leaders debate scheduled for 29 April 2021.

[83] However, BBC Wales later announced that a revised format would allow the party to participate in the second half of the TV debate.

[84] Regional list Constituencies In September 2015, Amelia Womack, Deputy Leader of GPEW, announced her intention to stand in the National Assembly elections for Wales Green Party.

An ITV article titled "Green deputy leader wants to switch to Welsh politics" wrote of Newport-born Womack's intention to stand in the Welsh elections saying; "She's seeking the nomination for the Cardiff Central constituency and – more significantly – hoping to be top of the Wales Green Party's regional list for South Wales Central."

Notably, the article went on to say "Opinion polls have occasionally suggested that the Greens could gain a list seat in the Senedd".

[86] The manifesto included plans to scrap the M4 relief road, build 12,000 new homes a year and provide free childcare to every child in Wales.

Welsh Green leader and South Wales Central candidate Jake Griffiths stated they were also aiming to attract disaffected Liberal Democrat voters in the region.

[98] The party failed to win any seats, with their best performance this time being Mid and West Wales with 4.0% of the vote.

In South Wales West their vote declined by one percentage point, their worst result of the five regions.

As a result of this agreement, the party did not contest ten Welsh seats and instead supported pro-European Plaid Cymru or Liberal Democrat candidates.

In the Vale of Glamorgan constituency, Anthony Slaughter stood for the Green Party as the Remain Alliance candidate but was not elected.
