How can Welsh Labour govern, if it doesn't understand the basics.

A lifetime of being a very small part of the UK. A very small part of UK Labour. And for the trade unionists, a very small part of the UK trade union movement, has led Welsh Labour to the mindset of being very small.

The government of Wales, which has been exclusively Welsh Labour. No more than that of running a county council [ no offence to county councillors ].

.

They are given a grant together with limited ability to raise finance. Just like a county council.

They set up little committees to divide it up. Just like a county council.

They share it between areas for which they have responsibility. Just like a county council.

And for their peace of mind they have someone above them to blame. Just like a county council.

 

They have persuaded themselves, or have been persuaded, that Wales cannot survive on its own

They argue that Wales is only safe if it is ‘ protected ‘ by belonging to the UK Union.
