Plaid Cymru, the Welsh independence party, is offering an independence vote if they come to power in the Welsh Assembly elections.

Looking at Plaid's election performance, that's like offering free unicorn rides in the event that a herd of unicorns is found in the Black Mountains but IMO it's still significant that they're being this explicit. A combination of deep dissatisfaction with Brexit (despite a narrow margin in Wales being in favour) and the divergence between Westminster politics and the needs of Wales means that there is a small, but increasing, appetite for independence.

Plaid Cymru would hold an independence referendum within five years if it came to power in May's Senedd election. Launching its manifesto, the party said it offered the "most radical programme" in "any Welsh election since 1945". |
