From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have been keeping this in a google sheet for my own editing purposes, but I realised it would be a bit more sociable to have it at least available for others to use to make edits for MSs. I didn't think other wiki editors would appreciate this being a proper page, nor would it be appropriate for it to be, so I have put it here. If you have other sources, particularly other clearer or more accessible sources I would beg you to please add them! Please expand the available knowledge here! Same if I've missed anything!

    Information was obtained through Nexis newspaper archives which I have access to through my University. I can share if helpful
  2. ^ NOTE: At various points the Welsh Lib Dems have had party leaders that are NOT the leaders listed here. These are the leaders in the Senedd. I intend to go through and update this to contain both at some point, but for now, this is what is here.
