Rejected petition Hold a referendum for Welsh independence.

The people deserve more power for Wales in Wales, independent or not. The idea of Welsh sovereignty has been around since Owain Glyndwr was crowned Prince of Wales in 1404. Since then Wales has suffered issues with the schooling, mining and all round abuse regarding the culture and the language.
