Dependency

Excellent post on MOF regarding the perceived dependence relationship we have with the Unionist state of Great Britain. Problem is that if you have that kind of relationship there has to be a "What's in it for me" assessment made. Now in the case of Wales although GB is one of the richest economies in the world we have ended up as one of the poorest Countries in the EU. Call me Mr Greedy but that doesn't seem to be a particularly successful arrangement. A successful symbiotic relationship relies on both parties getting something out of the arrangement. GB gets a ready supply of brave boys and girls to fight their generally imperialist wars and the opportunity of relieving us of our natural resources for free. We get Thatcher and the levels of corruption, inequality, ineptitude and funding levels designed to keep us poor.

Now admittedly some of the examples used were shall we say selective. But one thing is for sure, if you want anything other than a Country that is still in effect a poor colony of a deeply flawed union as a legacy to your children and future generations then we need a plan "B". I have no doubt we are  relatively poor and lacking in confidence and self belief because of the union. It is time to call the Unionists bluff and reject the dependency culture they have subjected us to. It is time to realise that only by accepting full responsibility for our own affairs that we can turn our Society and  Economy around and  work towards our full potential. It is also the only way for us Welsh to truly walk tall and look the world right in the eye!
