Karl’s Candidate Statement

As an author, Karl dreams of better worlds. In his community work – environmental campaigner, litter picker, inspiring creative writing teacher, and community councillor – he puts his values into practice.

He wrote his first novel on Ynys Enlli, and during his twenty year librarian career at Aberystwyth University he would enjoy summer days cycling the Mawddach Trail or exploring Barmouth and Harlech.

Karl has the heart of a Celt and dreams of a fully independent Wales, Scotland and united Ireland, and a subsequent alliance of Celtic countries. Finally free of England’s warmongering, colonialisation and resource theft, the daffodil, thistle and shamrock could thrive again.

There’s an urgent need for change. To get rid of politicians who destroy public services, increase inequality, promote violence in foreign policy, stifle opposition, enable genocide, support apartheid, increase debt, destroy the environment, and lie to us. Career politicians just seeking more power and perks for themselves and those who buy them.

We need to protect what’s good, and rediscover what has been lost. We are not separate from nature, we are a part of it. We must imagine a world that reconnects us to the land, that is fair and equal, where we can experience fulfilling and sustainable lives in friendly communities.
