The referendum was a clear vote to take back control. To have our own laws made closer to the people affected by them, to not be ruled by unaccountable “bureaucrats” or politicians from far away who had no idea about the problems facing our communities. To curb inequalities across the UK and to be in the driving seat of our own destiny.

Many people in Wales voted to show that they were tired of being left behind and were disillusioned with the bloated, centralised gravy-train government controlling our country. By choosing a path we had never chosen before, many believed that we and our families, our communities, would be better off.

I am of course referring to the “Yes” vote in the Welsh devolution referendum
