It is, now to scrutinise the racist opposition into extinction as we look for a more positive future, with a party that understands we are different and need different outomces to the other place. |

Looks like more Continuity Socialism which will carry on being a disaster for Wales.
Wales GDP as a % of UK GDP:
1975: 4.5%
2023: 3.4%
GDP per capita 2023:
Wales: £29k
England: £40k
Socialism in action. |

Hilarious, Tory brexit, Thatcher is and austerity has created any decline. We in Cymru do not have the power to change much of that. That's why a different style of leadership and politics is needed. Looking after ourselves lves and not another section of the party.
Between 1975 and 2023 the Tories have been in charge of the choices vastly more than Labour . In fact it's 31 yrs out of the 48. The whole hundred year Labour rule of Wales spouted by bad media is nonsense. You have to have power to do anything, not just more MP's were it makes no difference to Westminster governments.
This choice of new FM gives us a chance to do something for us, free the chains maybe and invest in ourselves. Also to get back what's taken by the crown estate and to ask questions of our vast electricity generation not benefiting our pockets.
You spout Socialism, we have literally never tried it, back to your hate mail with you. |

Here and there |
I'm not following some of the comments.
Wales receives huge subsidies from Westminster, that make up for the overspend of the Senedd, due to the lower than average earnings in Wales and overspend on public services.
Why would breaking away from the UK be in the Welsh interest?

We don't get huge subsidies, that's why. HS2 was classed as England and Wales, even though not a cm enters. We don't get the equivalent money to spend on our rails, but Scotland does.
We get some of our Welsh tax back and they call it subsidies. We supply water to England for free, private companies cream the fat. Same with electricity, generate twice our use currently. But no cheaper tariffs in the areas generating.
The removal of the charge on the bridges has led to more inward migration and made house prices sore, because easier to push the problem to us than build more houses in Englands south west.
We don't own our coastline, the English royalty do. There's plenty of pointers to getting out from under the thumb. We have not been treated like a member of a union ever.
That's all ignoring the past crimes against us. Just what's right in our faces now. |

Support for Welsh independence is in the mid twenty % and isn’t growing. Even among Plaid Cymru voters it’s little above 50%.
Sadly Wales is becoming a hostile environment for English visitors. I’ve spent many an enjoyable holiday there but there is just a vocal Socialist minority turning Wales into a hellhole.
I’ve got better things to do than spend my holidays driving around at 18mph. I’ll spend my hard earned cash somewhere else. Tragic. |

I have taken a look online and found that Welsh public spending per head is higher than the tax revenue raised per head in Wales. The shortfall is covered by the wider UK treasury generated in England (mainly London and SE).
Welsh revenue 29billion
Welsh spend 43billion
I think Wales is getting a good deal.

correct. prior to the HS2 project wales has 15% of the uk rail infrastructure but recieved a measly 1% of the total rail infrastructure budget. since the commencement of the HS2 project Cynru now recieves 0.002% of the total uk rail infrastructure funding as per the johnson/sunak governments previous policy of defunding Yr Senedd. the current government have as yet failed to address the shortfall. |

But what are the actual funding levels? Has rail funding for Wales actually dropped, or is it just that HS2 costs England a massive amount, which makes Wales' amount look tiddly in comparison? |

Not how it works. If HS2 is England only we get more of our tax back to fund our railway, whick includes English lines anyway. HS2 is a theft of funds, simple as that |
