THE CALL FOR INDEPEDENCE ONLY COMES FROM PLAID CYMRU?

We must remember that they have kept Labour in power in Wales over most of their years in power - therefore it needs to take its share of the blame for Welsh issues!

REFORM UK BELIEVES THAT WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER RATHER THAN BEING APART!

 REFORM UK believes in the case for a united United Kingdom, while respectfully contrasting it with Plaid Cymru’s independence narrative:

Why Wales Thrives Within the United Kingdom

In the heart of the British Isles, Wales stands as a proud nation with a rich cultural heritage, a resilient people, and a voice that echoes through the halls of Westminster. Yet in recent years, calls for Welsh independence—led by Plaid Cymru—have grown louder, often framed as a “march to freedom.” But is this truly the path to prosperity, or a romanticised vision that risks economic and political isolation?

 

Shared Strength, Shared Resources

The United Kingdom is more than a political union—it’s a partnership built on shared infrastructure, pooled resources, and collective resilience. From the NHS to national security, Wales benefits from systems that are funded and supported across all four nations. Independence would mean rebuilding these institutions from scratch, with uncertain outcomes and significant costs.

Economic Reality vs. Ideological Idealism

Wales receives more in public spending than it generates in tax revenue. This isn’t a weakness—it’s a reflection of the UK’s commitment to regional equality. Independence would mean losing access to the Barnett formula and other redistributive mechanisms that help fund schools, hospitals, and transport links in Welsh communities.
Plaid Cymru’s vision, while emotionally compelling, often lacks the economic clarity needed to reassure voters. Comparisons to post-colonial African states—where independence was followed by economic hardship and political instability—may seem harsh, but they highlight the risks of severing ties without a robust plan.

Wales is broken and in urgent need of fixing!

Representation, Not Separation

Wales has a voice in Westminster and its own devolved government in Cardiff Bay. The solution to dissatisfaction isn’t separation—it’s stronger representation. More powers, better accountability, and a renewed focus on Welsh priorities can be achieved within the union, without the upheaval of independence.

Too much combines us - to separate us!

 

Global Influence Through Unity

As part of the UK, Wales is part of a G7 nation with global influence. Independence would mean starting from scratch on trade deals, diplomatic relations, and international standing. In a world of shifting alliances and economic uncertainty, unity offers stability.
