  1. I really don’t know how to feel about the surge of want to be independent- of course it’ll be great if we were but could we actually logically live? I mean.. look what happened after Brexit! we should leave with Ireland and Scotland than join together like that, seems safer.

    I’m just trying to understand if it’s actually logical to leave, put aside the history and look at logistics- would we actually be okay? it’ll be nice and I know that but wouldn’t we struggle financially? I don’t know, I genuinely don’t and I’m sorry? if anyone can explain than please do, I’d like to understand.

  2. Please can we not be completely insane

    Welsh independence (and Scottish and the few far righters pushing for English independence) will wreck quality of living. Our countries have been united for nearly 400 years for Scotland and nearly 800 for Wales. You’d be trying to unscramble an egg (much like in Brexit) whilst inflicting massive economic hardships on the people of Wales.

    As always, devolution is a good thing to push for, because generally the more local a body is the better is can handle local problems, and if the anger is at Westminster that is the answer, not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

  3. There are no Welsh political parties under which I’d want Welsh independence.

  4. If they can guarantee we’d rejoin the EU and become a Republic then I might be swayed.

  5. The older I get the more I don’t think it’s a bad idea. Cut income taxes, attract remote workers and high end high spending tourism – why are we letting all the American tourists go to the Cotswolds when we have just as good here?

  6. As someone not from Rhyl, I personally support their bid for independence.
