Plaid Cymru went into the 2017 general election "accepting the verdict of the people of Wales" on leaving the EU. As a Lib Dem activist recalled on Facebook recently, "I remember debating with Plaid during the GE campaign and they were arguing that it was important to ‘deliver’ Brexit. Really makes me cross as they (like Labour) were just hedging their bets."
Yet I have seen several social media posts recently claiming in effect that "Plaid Cymru is the only pro-EU party in Wales" or "Plaid Cymru has consistently opposed Brexit".
I like neither Punch-and-Judy politics nor negative campaigning, but when outright lies are peddled, they need to be exposed.
