## General Overview

Morgan Wool was born in Bangor on the 14th of September 1975. He was part of the Wool family, a family that involved themselves into UK politics as much as they could. His Mother decided to move away from London where most of the Wools were at, knowing that Morgan would have a hard time trying to win a seat in London or anywhere in England really and she wanted him to make a change differently. Why contribute as a backbencher, or even a frontbencher when quite frankly, he will never achieve the status of Prime Minister. She moved to Wales, and it wouldn't be a issue cause Morgan's dad was Welsh himself. That's why his mother decided to move there. From a early age, his mother taught him about Welsh politics and how important it is for him to rise up for Wales and make it equal to all the other countries in the Union. He did well in his State Secondary School and got 6s and 7s in his GSCEs, which his parents deemed good enough. He passed his A-Levels and went on to get a bachelor degree in Political Science. Morgan joined the political scene when he was 25, 2 years after obtaining his degree, in 2000, when he joined Plaid Cymru and became a Campaign Staff Member and after 5 years he became a Campaign Manager, leading Plaid Cymru to gain seats in Wales in the early and mid 2000s.

In 2010, Morgan decided it was enough just being a Campaign Manager. No! His parents wanted more. He ran as a candidate for Arfon and had to come to a agreement with 57 year old Hywel Williams. Morgan actually campaigned for him a lot as the Campaign Manager for Caernarfon (now Arfon and Dwyfor Meirionnydd) and they came to a conclusion that Morgan will run for Arfon for Plaid Cymru however Morgan will support him in anything else he needed like assistance with being elected as a Council Member. Morgan got elected and was the first, and still is, MP for Arfon, a new constituency formed in 2010. Once the 2016 General Referendum came around, Morgan voted to remain. Surprise Surprise.

After former Plaid Cymru Leader Adam Price resigned in March 2020, after failure in the 2020 snap elections, Morgan stepped up and ran for leadership. He was known due to his dedication since 2000 and he won. He has realised that Plaid Cymru has some radical goals and aims and has eased them down which did make some Plaid Cymru members displeased but most were fine with it and found that it will probably help. He is taking a mostly neutral stance towards over parties but he doesn't deny Plaid Cymru is 'Center-Left' which surprised some members which considered Plaid Cymru as 'Left-Wing'. Nevertheless, it seems to be going great.

## Resignation

Morgan Wool announced that after the election results, he will resign, (Sep 2022) and he has. He still serves as MP for Arfon, but no longer Party Leader. (He is no longer owned by a member but now a NPC)

Despite this, he has done great things for Plaid - winning them 9 seats, 5 more than Plaid has ever achieved (4)
