In Cymru this consists of Yes Cymru, leftwing and republican group Undod, Cymdeithas yr Iaith (Welsh language society) and Labour for an Independent Wales. The fact that Labour-dominated Blaenafon council recently voted to support Welsh independence is surely an indicator of all this. If England leaves the EU and Wales remains, Wales will have to charge a tariff on goods crossing the border. It is interesting to note that a recent draft plan for Welsh independence by Ben Gwalchmai involved England continuing to provide defence and probably fisheries protection, and diplomatic and consular services.
