"I really 100% believe in my lifetime Wales will be an independent country. I actually think the momentum around this is becoming an unstoppable force… the more I look into it, the more I understand, and the more it just feels logical."

"If you participate in a union… and participate in the parliament where you have the representation of 40 in a parliament of 650, you don’t need to be a mathematician to work out that your voice is pretty insignificant, and statistically irrelevant."

Independence might sound like an appealing idea, but will it work in practice?
Can Wales afford to stand on its own two feet?

One regularly-mentioned argument is that although Wales has a trade surplus of around £5bn a year, it is currently running a fiscal deficit.

THREAD ⤵️
However, the important point to make is that this fiscal deficit is not inevitable.

Wales is currently running a fiscal deficit *as part of the UK.*
It is not pre-ordained that Wales must suffer from a shortfall in revenue, and there are no obstacles in terms of our abilities, education system, or our place in the world that would render us unable to address the issue as an independent nation.

Independence would give the government a set of economic tools it doesn’t have at the moment.

Currently, @WelshGovernment has minimal powers over taxation and borrowing.
The powers it does have are hamstrung in ways that ensure England is not disadvantaged.

THREAD ⤵️
For example, the UK Treasury has repeatedly refused Welsh Government calls to devolve Air Passenger Duty, unashamedly saying that doing so would give @Cardiff_Airport an advantage over @BristolAirport.
For the most part, the UK Government simply hands Cardiff Bay an annual grant, which @WelshGovernment uses to pay for Welsh services.

This effectively means that Welsh economic policy is made in Westminster, and driven by the needs of the UK as a whole.

YesCymru – Storm Dennis Appeal update

A massive thanks to all YesCymru members and supporters who donated towards our appeal. Our appeal is now closed, but in one week we managed to raise £5,610.
All funds raised from our appeal are being transferred to the national 'Help Wales after Storm Dennis floods' appeal organised by @michaelsheen on behalf of WCVA and will be distributed to communities across the country. That appeal is still open at > gofundme.com/f/helpwalesaft…
@michaelsheen On 15 February @ClwbYBont in Pontypridd experienced the worst flooding in their history with the main bar over 2 meters under water. YesCymru members from local groups went to help with the clean up effort the following day.

WESTMINSTER ISN'T WORKING! #indyWales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
Economy – In the 1950s the Welsh GDP was twice as big as Ireland’s. Now, as an independent nation in the 21st century, the economy of the Irish Republic is 4 times the size of Wales. Westminster rule doesn’t work – independence does. #indyWales
Water – 243 billion litres of water is annually exported from Wales to England, but our communities see no benefit. Severn Trent Water, who own many reservoirs in mid Wales, sell Welsh water and make a £1bn a year profit. None of this profit returns to Wales. #indyWales
