I would agree that Wales (especially South Wales) is a Brexity supporting dump, However, it's a common enough Yoon trick to add the Don't Knows to the No's and use this figure to make the percentage of Yes supporters appear smaller. If we use the equivqlent trick here, leave only got 38% of the Welsh electorate (to the nearest percentage) Electorate (2270270) divided by leave voters (854572) equals 37.6% Anyone that debates honestly should call out this misleading practice every time, whatever side of the fence they sit on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you're calling me misleading, but I don't think i was. 38% active support for brexit in wales =38% active support for union in scotland. If it's enough to make wales Brexity it's enough to make Scotland yoony. Or maybe there's a range of views in both places that means it's hard to generalise. Most people i spoke to in wales about brexit were firmly remain. Caveats- i didn't discuss it much because it was quite boring- i'm almost certainly part of some urban lefty middle class circle. Leavers who gave reasons included a politics grad who thought the commission was an undemocratic institution and a fat boot who wanted Farage to stand up to the Muslims. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived and worked in North East Wales for about a decade and found the proper generational locals as brexity and racist as any red wall Labour turned Tories area. Thankfully I spent most of my non-working life with vagrants, immigrants and woke natives. Edited May 25, 2023 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite clearly calling your use of statistics misleading. More people in Wales voted "leave" than "remain" That's democracy, whether we agree with it or not. Quoting one figure in isolation without explanation is (at the very least) misleading by omission. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Wales is, in the final analysis, and as the chant goes, just a small part of England. They have even less of the bottle required to attain independence than we do, which is saying something 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Some linguistic nationalism direct action. I'm not a big fan of welsh language only signs on the motorway (e.g. Gantry signs saying "Araf!" followed half a mile later by "slow!") but place names are a different matter. https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/removing-english-names-welsh-road-29733742.amp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
