In the past you've drawn attention to how it would be more difficult for Cymru to become independent if the UK leaves the EU. Your argument convinced me. Painful because accepting it removed an - increased likelihood of independence "silver lining" - to my Brexit cloud. <br /><br />Years later we still don't know what the future UK EU relationship will be but the UK having the status of a third country to the EU is at least a possibility. If a reality, any movement for an independent Cymru would have to address that reality. <br /><br />As the narrative - that an independent Cymru is impossible if England is outside the EU is already being applied to this potential reality it needs to be countered now. Later will be too late. <br /><br />"There's very little point in having, shall we say, market access to the single market and finding we can't export to England." <br />An independent Cymru whatever it's relationship with the EU could export/import/re-export/re-import to an independent England whatever their relationships with the EU were. <br />Different and varied relationships with the EU are possible and all can change over time. Some relationships would result in more costs being associated with trade others less. <br /><br />None outside the realms of dystopian fantasy would mean that Cymru could not export to England.
