As if we would ever work with those charlatans, absolutely laughable. Given how close Labour & the Tories are with their policy points right now, I would argue it's the rosette turning blue.
Yeah, no problem at all.
There is some debate around where exactly the talk of legitimate devolved powers for Cymru originated and indeed finished, but I would say that there are 2 documents you can pin it down to pretty well.
A white paper called: A Voice for Wales - https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/RP97-129/RP97-129.pdf
And the Government of Wales Act of 1998 (As it was enacted in 1998) - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/38/contents/enacted
I was unable to find a free link for the white paper above, though the document I substituted it with, discusses it in great detail.
Both discuss devolution in great length, you should find what you're looking for here.
Yes, they did.
They may have lied, and I imagine quite a few of them did, but that was the line.
Supposed by whom, I cannot answer. I could describe what I believe is an almost ephemeral sense of what democracy in Cymru was 'supposed' to be, but I think that won't be answer enough for you.
As for sold by whom - Welsh Labour, UK Labour, Welsh & UK Conservatives, and the Liberal Democrats besides that. Democracy in Cymru is practically still in its infancy at this point, and it was sold to the people of Wales by the political parties of the UK that supported devolution back then, and those that support further devolution and even independence for Wales now.
Well, it's no secret that the current state of democracy in Cymru isn't what it was 'supposed' to be, or what it was sold as. I would argue it's not unreasonable to keep a hold of the vision of what democracy was promised to be, and by doing so referring to what we have currently as something that shouldn't be the way that it is.
I'm not naive enough to think that this is the best it gets for us, nor am I naive enough to think that meaningful change is right around the corner for us. I have no doubt the path to a healthier democracy in Cymru is a long one, but to give up on the very idea of it, is not something that I intend on doing.
I'm not sure what you mean about my life having any standing on what I think the author is trying to convey here? I'm not the author, I was merely suggesting what I believe the intended message was. I literally said that the state of things, in reality, is far from what the author is conveying.
I think it's a case of the author saying how things are supposed to be, rather than than the uncomfortable reality we seem to have settled into.
The kicker being, that this is the second time, not ever, but in a single month.
It's honestly absurd.
Wild that the answer to young people being exposed to literal genocide and having an opinion about it, isn't to try and do something about the genocide, but to call it indoctrination and try to ban it.
Make it make sense.
Yeah this is exactly what it is.
The commenter above likely read something they disagree with on substack and has chosen to hate the entire platform because of it.
The only difference here though, is that it would be like being a nurse in Spain, and being told you can't speak Spanish to people, despite literally being in Spain, talking to a Spanish speaker.
Definitely agree with you there, Welsh Labour seem a little less tainted by the current direction the UK Labour Party is heading. Still too far right for my liking, though.
Worth noting I'm in favour of Independence though, so a unionist party doesn't inspire much hope regardless of colour.
