Devolution Debate 10:26 - Dec 14 with 5582 viewsunion_jack

An interesting extract from Hansard regarding a recent parliamentary debate on devolution in Wales. A long read but highlights so many points that most of us feel. Keep it clean!

Weighted and excluding don’t knows…. They might as well just go the whole hog and exclude no’s too.


Proper polling company, you just don't like the results.

It won’t be 58% of 16 -24 years old if ever there ever was a campaign for full independence?

Why? Because leading WELSH members of The Royal College Of Surgeons, RCN, The Royal College of General Practitioners, The British Institute Of Radiology and BMA Cymru Wales etc will campaign against the catastrophic loss of ENGLISH NHS services that Wales depends on and cannot ever do without.

You know? High ranking Welsh proffesionals outside of immature stuudent activist politics and debate who happen to know how the real world happens to work.

Meanwhile in YesCymru cloud-cuckoo-land Welsh-activist tw*ts who cannot tell the difference between the words ECG and ETC will be unable to explain how Wales goes it alone when it is so reliant on English NHS services.

Tell me how many leading lights within Welsh NHS are pushing for full independance?



The debate about the future of Wales belongs to each of us, the view of an academic or two in the NHS is all very good but its not definitive.

Good to debate though.

I’d line up with tje late Eddie Butler, Michael Sheen, and Dafydd Iwan.
You can line up with David TC Davies, little Alun Cairns, Andrew RT Davies, and Rees-Mogg.

Let the debate begin.
But its already clear its only going in one direction ….

Jac (Royston) is imo a nationalist who really cares about Wales, in fact he has a very low opinion of YesCymru who wants independence just like himself.

Why? Because he is totally unhappy with Wales being turned into a backward impoverished economic backwater and SPEAKS OUT against that and blames and names the people and Welsh government responsible.

The yokel Welsh-Nat types on the other hand seem to have a severe case of the 'JONAH COMPLEX', because they are happy with Wales sinking ever deeper into the gutter. That is why the anger was shown at Westminster money offer for the relief road, along with zero concern/criticism of 20 mph, appalling waste of hundreds of millions of pounds, bottom of the table E- Wales etc.

And of course Jac detests the Cardiff Bay lot and others, because they have destroyed all dreams of full independence, because nobody would ever vote for the force-multiplication of the sabotage-governance that we have all seen over the last quarter of a century, thats nothing other than the destruction of a country from within.

I think you will find that the very people you call ‘academic’?

Are more doctor, more surgeon, more radiologist, more nurse practitioner and more radiologist etc than the celebrities and non-NHS public sector 'academics' usually called Tomos "ap" something or other, who don't have a clue in the slightest about the repercussions of their warped fairy-tale fantasies and daydreams.

Is Dafydd the dullard going to do a song about Wales going to England with a begging bowl when NHSBT has to be reorganised in Wales, because it'll no longer exist in full independence.

Proper polling company, you just don't like the results.


Well the results aren't accurate and they don't say how many were excluded, what if 35% said "don't know"? that means 58% ( and that's accepting weighting which skews the result too ) of 65% would vote that way, out of 1000 people that actually means that before weighting less than 40% would vote that way. So add in weighting where they remove people from the "no" group and add them to the "yes" group and you get that flawed result.

Add the "don't knows" back in and that "less than 40%" drops to less than 25% and that is why polls that are adjusted are totally pointless and little more than lies. Which is why certain politicians love these types of company because they take a lie and dress it up as the truth.
Then people like you lap the lie up as a truism because it provides the result you want.

The only poll that is right is an actual vote, as brexit showed because all the polling said we'd go remain in a big way. I don't remember any company saying we'd choose leave up until the exit polls started coming in.

I agree that votes are needed in Wales, Scotland, and the north of Ireland.

All in the next 10 years.

The more interesting debate is …does Indy Wales keep the Royals like Indy Scotland plan to,or get rid like Ireland…? 🇬🇧

Yes the professional poll stands.
Your tired old union is pretty much dead. Its just reflecting that.

That said, a more modern federal uk could still work….?
Staying as it was in 1707 is simply not an option.

Go and look at the poll results again.

Like the Republic whose healthcare system still hasn't recovered from the result of the neoliberal austerity that followed the EU's imposition of the excessive deficit procedure? Ireland's working class population are waking up to the fact that prosperity only extends to the fortunate ones in well-paid jobs, who can afford private medical insurance. Greece is another example of the limits of EU social solidarity - the first country in Europe that had universal healthcare coverage and then lost it (no free or low-cost state coverage for the long-term unemployed for a time). The Scottish and Welsh nationalists who crave EU membership are counting on EU subsidies, but even the German economy is starting to creak.

I think he means in his social group, a straw poll by a dubious pollster is not a true reflection on the views of that specific group.

Has devolution failed or are the politicians that we having charge of it simply not up to scratch.
I wouldn't want us to be thrown back under Westminsters sole control, but clearly there do need to be some big changes going forward.


Agree with this, the problem is the idiotic Indy lot can see no fault in how Wales is currently being run & it causes a greater divide.

With the current government in Westminster you’d think independence in both Wales & Scotland would be gaining momentum, the harsh reality is it’s going backwards.

You can see yourself however you like, of course, but there are only 4 nations in the British Isles - England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. So take your pick.

Britain is not a nation.

The Great in Great Britain simply refers to the largest island in the British Isles.

I question the use of "nation" for the UK home countries. which I think is confusing. The BBC and even Hugo Keith KC in the COVID inquiry do this, and it is true that country and nation don't have precise definitions. so these terms may be stretched to this usage. Some say that country refers to geography and nation to a people, but this is far from agreed usage. The terms are not used in the devolution legislation, and this is probably because as far as nation states go, the only two on the British Isles are the UK and the RoI. These are the entities that are represented on the international bodies where nation states meet, and the only ones that have the full range of institutions that nation states possess. Devolution does not mean that the UK is a federation of states; the grant of power to the devolved administrations comes from the UK Parliament and could be rescinded, thus preserving the UK's de jure status as a unitary sovereign state. The Scots have it right when they sing "Flower of Scotland". How can you "be the nation again" if this has already happened?

Having their own parliament again to run their own nation.

Pen and ink on paper can never define a nation like Scotland.

Scotland as a nation exists.
Accept it and move on.
