English: It's important that today we explain how dangerous and objectionable Johnson's act in proroguing the UK Parliament was at a period of such crisis, and it's also important that we state how damaging to Wales a 'no deal' Brexit would be. But we can do more than simply express our views, because there is also an opportunity today to discuss a way forward through all of this confusion. I believe that political leaders are duty-bound to provide hope, to lead discussion, and, in the current context, that means encouraging our fellow country people to truly consider what future is best for the communities of Wales. There is no doubt that Brexit, and a 'no deal' Brexit in particular, is being driven by a particular ideology that arises from a destructive kind of nationalism, which is narrow, right-wing and privileged. We must defeat this ideology which tramples on everyone that gets in its way. But it is important to bear in mind that not everyone who voted for Brexit was driven by that same ideology. The act of so many of our fellow country people in our poorest communities in voting for Brexit was an act arising from frustration, arising from a feeling of inequality, it was a cry against poverty and powerlessness. Pledges were made that life would be better following Brexit, but gradually the dream is being destroyed and more and more people are realising that it was all based on lies. And with that realisation comes the feeling of powerlessness once again, and we must guard against that. We are duty-bound, as elected representatives of the people, not to allow hopelessness to take hold. So, I believe that we have two choices facing us as parliamentarians. We can put our heads in the sand and hope that, through some miracle, a way forward within the unequal, broken constitution that we currently have can be found, or we can face reality. The reality is that things must change. I happen to believe that independence for Wales - taking the reins for ourselves and deciding our own fate - is the best way forward. You all know that. You will know that that is my opinion. But look at amendment 4. Voting for amendment 4 doesn't commit Wales to independence. What the amendment does is to commit us and the people of Wales to thinking in earnest about our constitutional future and then to bring options before the people of Wales. I do understand what Hefin's had to say about referenda, but we must find a way of bringing options before the people of Wales. Amendment 4 proposes a clear path forward: to hold a sensible debate that will reflect and gather together the range of views on how democracy in Wales should evolve, and it is the duty of Government, and no-one else, to lead the work. Now, the convention itself will not change anything, of course, but its conclusions could drive change and provide hope for a better future. We don't need a talking shop, and that's why our amendment proposes taking detailed options to the people at the end of these discussions. Let us consider and let us provide hope for everyone, including those in our poorest communities, so that they don't go back to feeling powerless and frustrated. And what better response from the Welsh Parliament to the impetuous actions of Johnson than starting a meaningful and hopeful discussion with our people on the future of our nation?
Welsh: Mae'n bwysig heddiw i ni egluro pa mor beryglus a gwrthun oedd gweithred Johnson i atal Senedd San Steffan rhag trafod mewn cyfnod mor argyfyngus, ac mae'n bwysig i ni ddweud pa mor niweidiol i Gymru ydy ' no deal ', ond mae modd i ni wneud mwy na lleisio barn yn unig gan fod cyfle hefyd heddiw i drafod ffordd ymlaen drwy'r dryswch. Dwi'n credu bod cyfrifoldeb ar arweinwyr gwleidyddol i gynnig gobaith, i arwain trafodaeth, ac, yn y cyd-destun presennol, mae hynny'n golygu annog ein cydwladwyr i ystyried o ddifri sut ddyfodol sydd orau i gymunedau Cymru. Does dim dwywaith fod Brexit, a Brexit di-gytundeb yn enwedig, yn cael ei yrru gan ideoleg benodol sy'n codi o fath ddinistriol o genedlaetholdeb cul, asgell dde, breintiedig. Mae angen trechu'r ideoleg yma sy'n sathru pawb a phopeth ddaw yn ei ffordd. Ond mae hi'n bwysig cofio nad oedd pawb a bleidleisiodd dros Brexit yn cael eu gyrru'r ideoleg honno. Roedd gweithred cymaint o'n cydwladwyr ni yn ein cymunedau tlotaf wrth bleidleisio dros Brexit yn weithred yn codi o rwystredigaeth, yn codi o deimlad o annhegwch dwfn, yn waedd yn erbyn tlodi a theimlo'n ddiymadferth. Fe addawyd y byddai bywyd yn well gyda Brexit, ond yn raddol mae'r freuddwyd yn cael ei dryllio, ac mae mwy a mwy yn sylweddoli mai celwydd oedd y cwbl. A gyda'r sylweddoliad, daw'r teimlad o fod yn ddiymadferth unwaith eto, ac mae'n rhaid i ni ochel rhag hynny. Mae dyletswydd arnom ni, gynrychiolwyr etholedig ein pobl, i beidio â gadael i anobaith gymryd gafael. Felly, dwi'n credu bod dau ddewis yn ein hwynebu ni fel seneddwyr. Fe fedrwn ni gladdu ein pennau yn y tywod a gobeithio, drwy ryw ryfedd wyrth, fod ffordd ymlaen o fewn y gyfundrefn gyfansoddiadol anghyfartal, doredig bresennol, neu fe fedrwn ni wynebu realiti. Y realiti hwnnw ydy bod yn rhaid i bethau newid. Dwi yn digwydd credu mai annibyniaeth i Gymru - cymryd yr awenau ein hunain a phenderfynu ein tynged ein hunain - ydy'r ffordd orau ymlaen. Rydych chi'n gwybod hynny. Rydych chi'n gwybod mai dyna ydy fy marn i. Ond edrychwch ar welliant 4. Dydy pleidleisio dros welliant 4 ddim yn ymrwymo Cymru i annibyniaeth, wrth gwrs. Beth mae'r gwelliant yn ei wneud ydy ein hymrwymo ni a phobl Cymru i feddwl o ddifri am ein dyfodol cyfansoddiadol ac yna dod ag opsiynau gerbron pobl Cymru. Dwi'n deall beth sydd gan Hefin i'w ddweud ynglŷn â refferenda, ond mae'n rhaid ffeindio ffordd o ddod ag opsiynau o flaen pobl Cymru. Mae gwelliant 4 yn cynnig llwybr clir ymlaen: cynnal trafodaeth synhwyrol fydd yn adlewyrchu ac yn dod ynghyd yr amrediad gwahanol o safbwyntiau ar sut mae'n rhaid i ddemocratiaeth Cymru esblygu, a dyletswydd Llywodraeth, a neb arall, ydy arwain y gwaith. Rŵan, fydd y confensiwn ei hun ddim yn newid dim byd, wrth gwrs, ond gall ei gasgliadau greu newid a chreu gobaith am ddyfodol gwell. Nid siop siarad sydd ei angen, a dyna pam mae ein gwelliant ni'n cynnig mynd ag opsiynau manwl at ein pobl ar ddiwedd y trafod. Dewch i ni ystyried a dewch i ni gynnig gobaith i bawb, gan gynnwys y rhai yn ein cymunedau tlotaf, fel nad ydyn nhw'n mynd yn ôl i deimlo'n ddiymadferth a rhwystredig. A pha well ymateb gan Senedd Cymru i weithredoedd byrbwyll Johnson na rhoi cychwyn ar drafodaeth ystyriol a gobeithiol efo'n pobl am ddyfodol ein gwlad?
