WALES REFERENDUM 2011

Fri Mar 04, 2011 11:08 am

Talks about signifigance and how well Wales will benefit and how we can stick two fingers up to Westminster. Im all for a Yes but to be honest will we be any better off. Turnout looks shit as well looks to me like the Welsh people really dont give a f**k about the vote. I suppose peoples interest was low. They talking about a 30% turnout and how people aint arsed about politics. What do other people think ?

I was 50/50 so didnt vote BUT if I thought voting YES would have got rid of Anne Clwyd then fair enough ........ but that wont happen coz we will still need an MP plus an AM in the Cynon Valley . Not sure how it works up in Scotland tho ??

Why are people so disengaged from this referendum ? I'm going to put it down to the fact that we were misinformed and just didnt know what we we where voting for . Just hope it is a yes as we will finally have power to make our own laws without going throught the lengthy process of asking Westminster for them to vote, then passed on to the Queen to pass the order from her behalf . Personally i think this will be a good vote for YES :ayatollah:

Cardiff 31.3%

Yeah, very poor exposure and by the looks of it, it was an attempt by the 'No' campaign to strengthen their chances of a win because their refusal to get involved in any campaign budget meant the referendum was not allowed to receive any publicity or media coverage money. Another reason why I am glad 'Yes' will win.

This vote isn't about independence. It's about Wales having more freedom to carry out its own decisions rather than going to the teacher at Westminster and asking for permission. Those who want full independence are in a minority and have nothing to do with this referendum.
