  • I am broadly in favour of independence, however not on the terms currently apparently promoted by Plaid - nationalism has limited use in the world today unless you are big enough and ugly enough to ignore what others might think.

    Whatever the ultimate destiny of Wales, it won’t be a success if we are lead by people blaming the current situation entirely on Westminster and refusing to engage with the larger nation next door.

    There seems to be a tendency, here in the Valleys as well as in Wales at large, to abdicate “personal” responsibility - everything is someone else’s problem (Westminster, local authority, police whoever can be conveniently blamed but never, ever, the locals or their actions) sadly, in the political arena, this plays right into the Tory playbook - they are masters of divide and conquer, having spent much of history doing just that.
