Every now and then  we hear the same old line from one unionist politician after another saying " there is no appetite for independence in Wales" "only 5% to 10% support independence. They chose to ignore the most recent unionist poll that showed support in Wales is up to 20% . Now if you were to believe the polls that's around 600,000 people in Wales who support welsh independence. Now bare this in mind. That is 600,000 people who support independence for Wales without any political party or organisation in Wales arguing the case for independence. I believe that most of the welsh public have never even considered the idea of welsh independence. I myself had never thought about it or heard anyone mention welsh independence for most of my life. I started thinking about welsh independence when I was roughly 25 years old and that was after hearing Alex salmond talk about Scotland's future. It made me think what about Wales?

In the last few days the BBC have published a poll taken by icm that says the support for welsh independence is 3%. That's right according to the BBC only 3% of people in wales support Independence.

Any "relevant" poll on the independence question should only have 2 options to give us any

"On Thursday 18th September people in Scotland will vote on whether Scotland should stay part of the United Kingdom, or whether they become an independent country.   With this in mind, we turn our attention to Wales to see if the Welsh population have been inspired by the Scottish referendum to reconsider the state of their independence. The  BBC  conducted a poll in February showing that 5% of Welsh voters were in favour of independence. However, according to a more recent  YouGov  survey for ITV Wales, 17% of people support Welsh independence. In order to find out the current opinion in Wales, we have just asked 1000 Welsh people whether they think Wales should be independent? The results show that although 71.1% of people don’t think that independence is the right choice for Wales, a much higher 28.9% are pro Welsh independence. 57% of the respondents who provided us with answers were male, and 43% of responses came from females. There was an even gender
