How does the individual Welshmen get his hands on the reigns of power? That was the question in the late nineteenth century and is was brilliantly answered by David Lloyd George. A Welsh man becomes a member of the ruling elite at London precisely by becoming one of them. He may sing Pantycelyn’s hymns in the front parlor at Downing Street on Sunday nights, but otherwise he must forget his nationality. That solution has been perfectly acceptable to hundreds of Welshmen.
