"The Nineteenth century saw a great Springtime of Nations as the revolutions of 1848 saw new countries created the length and breadth of Europe. In our world today we are now seeing our own Spring Awakening with people and cultures that have long been dormant and subdued asserting their right to exist, their right to dream." Adam Price MP

Well I'm voting with the majority for Wales to remain part of the UK. That's my right to self-determination in democracy.
The only domination we are in danger of is of extremist nationalists like yourself.
There is nothing extreme in wanting the best for your country.
You may be in the majority but, then again, you may not, and increasingly not.
Perhaps the inclusion of Afghanistan and Iraq?
Palestine?
If not occupation, then those three countries are certainly being oppressed, and in no uncertain terms.
At least if Wales was independent, we wouldn`t have to pay for an airforce and an army, to invade far-off places with lots of oil. Though no doubt, some politicians might dream of commanding mighty armies.
