Plaid Cymru have pledged to offer a referendum on Welsh independence within the first term of Government should it hold a majority after the next Senedd elections in May. 

Plaid Cymru Leader Adam Price MS said,

“This confirms the growing view that the Union is failing all parts of the UK beyond the Westminster bubble. Decisions affecting Wales should be made in Wales, this is a simple matter of democracy to which the Tories and Labour are opposed.

“For everyone who wants to see Wales become a fairer, greener and more prosperous nation, there is only one credible option on the ballot paper on May 6th. 

“Only a Plaid Cymru government can deliver a referendum on Welsh independence which more and more people want to see.
