Nationalist Sentiment & Present Needs

There is a latent nationalism in Wales which needs to be convinced of the ineffectual ability of both Labour and Tory parties to provide the right answers for Wales. The key is Scotland. When Scotland votes for independence and a referendum is won the Welsh will wake up and start to wonder. In 1989 was the domino collapse in eastern Europe; Britain will follow suit before too long.

The events of the past year and more are a reflection of the change which is taking place in Britain and, though they appear shocking and catastrophic to society and the economy, they are all part of the shake-up which has to happen before a new society can emerge from the apparent chaos. What is going on in politics and society is an expurgation which is both necessary and just. It signals a new beginning for democracy in particular as well as transparency and openness in government, and a desire among the public to participate in the running of affairs in the nations of Britain.

Here are the first steps which need to be taken:

recall of MPs who have flouted and abused an imperfect system;
a law passed to fix parliamentary terms;
the prosecution of criminal offenders;
a campaign of no confidence in the present UK government;
a referendum on separate parliaments for the British nations;
a general election after the summer recess.
