Will Wales follow suit?
 
If Scotland votes YES, do you think Wales will have a referendum with a view to going independent too?

LukeB 17-09-2014 06:06 PM

hope not!

No way, we haven't got nearly enough substance in order to keep us ahead as an individual.
As much as I'd personally love us too, there's no possible way we could, we couldn't base and upkeep a country based solely off of tourism.

lily. 17-09-2014 06:08 PM

A lot of people are saying that it might happen... I guess we will see... I really wish it was all over up here... tensions are running high..

We can only hope, they are the worst ones

LukeB 17-09-2014 06:12 PM

:laugh: Okay....


In answer to the question, absolutely not. Wales and England are tight together, and Wales - in all honesty - would never be able to cope alone. It would never work if Wales decided to be independent.

Liam- 17-09-2014 06:13 PM

I mean, I know why people want independance from Britain, myself personally I'd love for Wales to be, purely because of the fact that Wales is generally the forgotten country, take American's for example, I've spoken to a lot of American people on social media and stuff and whenever they notice than I'm from Wales, the most common answer, without fail is 'What part of England is that?' and it pisses me off :joker:
But, it is in no way feesable or logical to want to separate ourselves from Britain, so hopefully it never gets as far as the situation with Scotland.

lostalex 17-09-2014 06:14 PM

Most Brits don't even know where Wales is, they really have no identity on the world stage, unlike Scotland which has much more of an identity.

I don't think Wales could go it alone as they are now.

Scotland has always been a very loud, independent culture, while Wales has always been just a quiet shy region. Maybe and independent Scotland could encourage Wales to find it's voice though.

Wales would only have a breakdown and beg us to take them back anyway

I wouldn't say that. Thanks to things such as the BBC, Wales is now known much more around the world - especially in Australia and America. I hear loads of Australians in my village every summer, discussing their tourist plans.

Most Brits DO know where Wales is, that's just a silly statement.

Livia 17-09-2014 06:19 PM

I think the burning question should be, will England follow suit?

Novo 17-09-2014 06:20 PM

If it means the likes of Wrexham being thrown out of English football and put in the Welsh league then yes please

i was just saying my impression. but aside from Dr. Who fans, i really don't think most people know where Wales is. I don't think even most Welsh people could find Wales on an unmarked map.

follow suit how? You mean will England have a referendum to leave the UK? lol

I'm pretty sure that's impossible. That would be like the Queen deciding she wants to be the Queen of Scotland after the referendum. lol I wonder if she could do that. what if the queen said, i'm Going with THEM, **** England! LMAO

They're not American :umm2: I think almost everyone could work out that the sticky-out-bit on the side of England is Wales

That's exactly what will happen on a Yes vote, she will become the queen of Scotland

Our queen would never leave us, how dare you talk such crap

We in Wales have a higher life expectancy xoxoxo

MTVN 17-09-2014 06:37 PM

There is some support for it in Wales I think but nowhere near enough, a Yes vote is more likely to raise questions about Northern Ireland again
