Roughly 1/3rd of the working welsh population is employed in the public sector.
Now while many of these jobs might technically still be needed, how much of it will be funded in the immediate short term? Or would face either major cuts or radically higher taxation on everyone than now.
How many more jobs are directly from having the free and open trade.
Outside of think tanks whos entire jobs is to make up false stats, see every think tank ever.
Best case scenario independance would require a generation or three of stable, long term thinking, planning, investment and doing at the cost of the now to become positive.
While theoretically possible, do you trust any of the Politcians down in the Bay to do this? Do you trust any of the Parties to not just try and change things needlessly if they get in power from the previous one just to stick their mark and say “I did it”.
Do you trust your fellow voters to not vote for who knows what nonsense as soon as they get the economic hurt such a thing would require?
Right now, in this age of social major, limited to not fact checking, and divisive propaganda all over the place, honestly it’ll be a complete mess.
As much as I love the idea of independence, unfortunately, she’s not wrong.
At least we’d be walking in our own park, dodging our own dog poo, basking in our own sunshine.
The first and last time I’ll ever agree with a Lib Dem.
Go on Jane girl. They don’t like it up em.
I’m a big supporter of independence but this is clearly true. Which is why it would be done sensibly – if Wales voted for it, we would take our time to implement it, sort everything out with the UK in an amicable way that stressed that it’s a new relationship we’re after not a break up. We want to build our own state because we want our country to look different, but we also want to be good neighbours and allies.
If independence was done in a spiteful “we’re better off on our own” way like Brexit was, it would be a disaster, but I have faith that Wales wouldn’t act like that. We can be better neighbours to England if we have a state that fixes our economy anyway.
Lib Dem in talking sense shocker.
She will now be smeared in the press by both Plaid and Labour, and will probably get graffiti on her constituency office. That’s ok though, because they are “left wing nationalists”. Totally different.
While true, being a difficult thing to navigate does not mean it isn’t worth doing!

I mean yeah, simple logic really
