The Welsh Tory strategy for countering Nationalists appears to be to ‘give in’ on national sovereignity and full devolution but repair Unionism by insisting on ‘ federalisation’ to the UK in a sort of United States of Britain. This is prefigured in a book by David Melding AM.

Nationalists should be aware that this could potentially be a real vote winner for the Tories and could destroy the Plaid Cymru vote in the predominantly English speaking  urban constituencies of  Wales such as the South and North East and Borders.

THE United Kingdom is in danger of disintegration and should embrace a federal structure of government and create individual parliaments in each nation, Conservative AM David Melding declares in a major book published today.

He envisages a new constitutional settlement which could cut the number of MPs at Westminster to 300 and officially recognise the sovereignty over domestic issues of the parliaments of Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
