Glyndwr is the son of Gwynoro Jones,[6][7] the former Labour and SDP politician, and stood for Plaid Cymru in the constituency of Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney during the period of the party’s Welsh Assembly coalition with Labour—specifically in the National Assembly for Wales Election 2007[8] and the Westminster General Election 2010[9]—campaigning with political veterans such as Ieuan Wyn Jones (former Deputy First Minister of Wales), Lord Dafydd Wigley[10] and Ron Davies (former Secretary of State for Wales).[11] He also sat on the party’s National Council during this time and supported the Assembly’s now Presiding Officer, Elin Jones AM,[12] in the leadership election of early 2012, after which he has pursued his professional career. Glyndwr is an advocate for greater cross-party consensus in Wales.
