I'm not anti devolution at all. I think English regions should get more powers too, but I think the economic arguments for independence are very weak. Whatever they are however, it most definitely is not a 'no brainer' in any direction of argument.
yes it took 80 years to overtake the UK.

Wales has been a poor relation of England since it fell into English control what 7 or 8 hundred years ago. and it always will be.
