There are two overtly pro-Welsh independence parties in Wales – naturally it influences their defence and foreign policy approaches

With the manifestos for Plaid Cymru and the Wales Green Party now out, what is in their foreign policy and defence policy sections? And how do the manifestos compare?

Both are left wing to left-of-centre parties, so I’d expect some crossover on certain issues like nuclear weapons, Ukraine, and Palestine. They are the biggest pro-Welsh independence parties standing in this general election, and are fielding candidates in all 32 Welsh seats. Let’s take a look at what they’re promising.
