This view is presented, ignoring the fact that belonging to ‘the Union’ leads to tax rises and public service cuts by the Westminster government, tax rises that don’t particularly benefit Wales and public service cuts that impact on the Wales public, imposed without Wales consent on a regular basis.
It is a view of independence, viewed through the prism of the present constitutional arrangements. The economics of an independent Wales is quite different.
An independent Wales will have economic and financial tools not available to the present Welsh government. It will be a sovereign state, with a sovereign currency and a Central Bank.
Not my words unfortunately, but explains things a lot better than I ever could. I’ll never profess to knowing all the answers, but I will look at it from a positive slant and not a “poor little Wales, how will we ever cope”. That way
minds will always be closed to the idea, no matter what.
