Default Will Wales follow suit?

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

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.

Not a chance anywhere in the near future I'm afraid.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Well if it's all about going it alone, then surely England, with by far the largest population, should have a say. So far the future of the UK is being decided by a population far smaller than the population of London... so I wouldn't mind England deciding its own future.

The Queen can go with Scotland if she likes. We're keeping the jewels though.
