So while the Welsh people continue to pay taxes to London we won't recieve the funding to help with the current situation. Wales has been sending millions of pounds in both taxes and resources over the border for centuries and for what!? To be western Europe's poorest nation?
Many English towns and cities (inc Birmingham & Liverpool) survive off water from Wales. We see nothing for it other than artificial lakes that hide our lost communities. While if we controlled our water Wales' economy would recieve billions of pounds each year instead.
Wales is the 5th largest electricity exporter in the world, an industry in Wales that currently exists soley to feed England's need for power because they're at an energy deficit, while we produce 50% more than we need. What do we see for this energy crossing the border? Nothing
A large portion of the Douglas Oil & Gas fields lies in Welsh territorial waters and the bounty from it arrives ashore in North Wales, but England currently controls this resource and takes it without the Billions it brings in benefiting Wales' economy.
Wales has some of the largest deposits of gold, yet the recent £700,000,000 deposit discovered is controlled by the English Crown and English mining companies that will ravage Welsh land to get to the rich resource, and take the rewards away from the Welsh people
Then there's the idea that Wales is somehow a partner in this Union and that we have fair representation within it. Westminster can be referred as England's Parliament when you look at the fact of how many of it's seats are Engli and how many are Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish
Ulster - 18 seats

Wales - 40 seats

Scotland - 59 seats

England - 533 seats

If Wales, Scotland and Ulster united we still couldn't get anywhere near a majority against anything England might wish to bring against us.
Our "representation" in Westminster is nothing more than an illusion of power and say in UK affairs. It's a means to help ensure the people of Wales, Scotland & Ulster remain loyal to the conquerors as simpletons would believe we have a voice and position in this divided Kingdom
