Forward Wales (Welsh: Cymru Ymlaen) was a socialist[1] political party operating in Wales. It evolved from the John Marek Independent Party (JMIP), formed by the ex-Labour member of the Welsh Assembly, John Marek who was the party's national convenor.
On 8 November 2003, the JMIP decided to rename itself Forward Wales. The party sought to advance socialist policies for Wales as an alternative to what it perceived as a Labour Party which had moved away from socialism.
Forward Wales had recruited various existing politicians disillusioned with their current parties such as:
Ron Davies, a former Secretary of State for Wales under the Labour Party;
Graeme Beard, a former Plaid Cymru councillor in Caerphilly;
Klaus Armstrong-Braun, a former Green Party councillor on Flintshire County Council.
