Peter Hain wants the New labour Party to reconnect with grassroots supporters. He goes on to say that offering more of the same will not succeed. Too late for him to take on this role. Perhaps the grassroots that remain in Wales will 'come out' and publicise their insignificant presence.
No chance of tackling the catastrophic decline in membership and activism until the party is rid of the New Labour bullies who won't listen and their intolerance of others if they are not 'born again' of Bliarism. Unlikely that people like Rhrodri will start listening and stop trying to be all things to all people.

The Lib/Dems evolved from a combination of Liberals and the SDP party, a group which broke off from Labour in the late 1970s.
The Labour party gradually lost its backbone after that, culminating in the disastrous Kinnock years in the early 90s.
Blairs' vision for New Labour is very similar to Roy Jenkins' vision for the SDP.
