As a person with Welsh ancestry, I wonder if they could survive if Wales was independent. If Reform UK has a Welsh branch, it could.
I was about to say the same thing. A Wales (or for that matter, a Scotland) decoupled from England would not fare well. England (or more specifically, the London financial district) throws off cash that subsidizes a lot of Welsh welfare. Do they really want to shut off that tap to be “a nation once again?”
