Welsh Independence refers to the movement advocating for Wales to become a fully independent nation, separate from the United Kingdom. Supporters believe that independence would allow Wales to have greater control over its own laws, economy, and cultural identity, reflecting the unique heritage of the Welsh people. The push for independence has gained momentum in recent years, with political parties like Plaid Cymru promoting the idea. Proponents argue that Wales could better address local issues, such as education and healthcare, while critics express concerns about economic viability and the potential loss of support from the UK government.
