Much less so than in Scotland or in Catalonia, for example. But instructively, Scotland and Catalonia have only got to where they are now (in the position to get independence), by building on devolution. And by having nationalist parties in the governmentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120478390983403863.post-16106058257915850272012-12-06T06:15:39.728+00:002012-12-06T06:15:39.728+00:00Thank you KP for giving such a perfect example of ...Thank you KP for giving such a perfect example of the Welsh Labour attitude towards devolution- your bosses will be proud of you.Alwyn ap Huwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06194724336424525283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120478390983403863.post-85453246670340741952012-12-02T20:17:30.752+00:002012-12-02T20:17:30.752+00:00It is the anglisised Welshman I fear wants to kow-...It is the anglisised Welshman I fear wants to kow-tow to English in Westminster and fears any form of home-rule, mostly because they fear the handouts ending and do not think Wales can survive without them, which is pretty sad and lacking in self-confidence really. Westminster ensures our compliance by holding the purse strings.

And who could blame them?<br /><br />The Welsh don't trust the Welsh. And the English migrant doesn't trust the Welsh either. Any thoughts of independence are dead in the water.

They would rather focus on slating the Tories and putting their uber leftie green wet dream ahead of a free Wales.<br /><br />It is not for Plaid to decide what a free Wales looks like, it is for the people of Wales to decide that. And this is why Plaid continues to be Welsh not Britishhttp://www.welshnotbritish.comnoreply@blogger.com
