A commonly used belittlement against #indyWales supporters is that "they think independence will solve everything."
Here's what I think what it will solve ...
Here's what I think what it will solve ...
1. The democratic deficit.
Wales will get the government it votes for. We have never voted for a Tory majority in Wales since Universal Sufferage was introduced. Yet we've had Tory governments making decisions that have impacted badly on Wales for half that time.

2. The Political Agency deficit.
This is the self-determination problem. Just recently the Senedd acknowledged that it couldn't run a UBI trial without Westminster support. Welsh macroeconomic policy & large scale capital expenditure remains the remit of WM & focus is on London.

3. The class/privilege problem.
Wales suffers from England's class divide. Look at the constitution of the Government & Opposition front benches at Westminster. How many are ex-public school? How many gained from position of entrenched privilege? Wales is badly governed by them.

#indyWales is not about selling a vision of a land of milk and honey, rather a country with a government for which it voted, fully equipped to carry out the popular mandate given to it by the Welsh electorate.
To me that's a no-brainer.
