Rhun ap Iorwerth is really overplaying his hand here. Sure, Ireland's path is old and complicated, and even modern, globalist Sinn Féin has deep historical roots to fall back on.
Scotland came close in 2014 mostly because Alex Salmond's SNP had actually delivered some good governance.
But let's be honest about Plaid they're only in power now because people finally just got sick of Labour. That’s the real story.
The problem is, folk in Wales aren't going to vote for independence if it just hands the keys over to the exact same political establishment currently running the show.
Because what does that actually buy us? More rigid net-zero targets, gender surgeries for kids, open borders, and straight-up economic ruin.
Sure, a progressive woke republic sounds great to naive youngsters, but anybody who's lived a little and gained some sense knows it's a scam.
I've been staunchly opposed to independence from day one, and this current circus certainly isn't changing my mind.
I wouldn't touch a vote for it now with a ten-foot barge pole, not for a bunch of politicians who'd hand our country's sovereignty straight over to globalist institutions like the WEF, EU, WHO, UN, and globalist banks before the ink was even dry, after all, those very establishments are out to destroy us.
This isn't independence, it's political suicide for Wales.
Besides, none of this was in Plaid's manifesto.
