Personally, I do not thinkWales will catch up, in fact at the fourth coming New Year Referendum I think there will be a possible reversal in fourtune, maybe big time? Rather than seeing a major increase in support for further WAG powers there will be a resounding NO! and just why would that be? A number of factors but chief of which are the failings of Plaid Cymru in establishing a real and true National Liberation Movement and struggle but instead have moderatly tipped toed about! Ending up carrying out the shady politics that at end of the day ammounts to 'Coalition Crap' of back room dealings and other 'Shady Shinnanigins' which will lose not gain public support. So is Plaid Cymru a Nationalist Party and is it for Welsh Independance, in 2009 they were but what about 2010 and 2011? keeping in mind that their A.M's could not take the Independance Logos off their blogs fast enough and, Bethan Jenkins did a runner around Swansea Marina to avoid being asked the 'I' Question.

1: Plaid Cymru the so called 'Welsh Nationalist Party', although it denies this from time to time as suits who it might be addressing, publically or not! Of course then circumstance as elections come into it all very much as per their pathetic waffling on whether or not they are Nationalists with a true Nationalist Agenda as in other one time Colonies of the British Empire. Here Plaid Cymru is best seen has having absolutly no vision whatsoever and instead of establishing and advancing an Anti - Colonial Independence Struggle they took the more moderate reformist road as best suited advance of their core Cultural Nationalist Rural middle class support. This has largelly been in interest of 'Y Crahach Newydd' and not the rural 'Werin' whom over the coming years have declined and will decline further and faster due to depopulation by means of unemployment and breakdown in rural social services. An indigenous native population 'ethnically cleansed' by means of Cheque Book Conquest and an age of New Colonialism which Plaid Cymru has no answer for, let alone guts to do much about.
2: Plaid Cymru at core is a 'Cultural Nationalist' and largelly a Rural Right Party at heart, if truth was known it cares more about the Cymric Heartlands than English Speaking Wales. Politically they are more concerned with sustaining the post 'Sixties' baby boom Cymric middle Classes 'Y Crachach Newydd' than English Speaking Wales. Their support for saving S4C at all cost at exclusion of campaigning for a real National Welsh TV Service in which 'E.L Speaking Wales is as much involved and made part of their own country media wise. Here, they really shot themselves in the foot for denieing E.L speaking Wales a full and proper share in 'Media Wales' they have contributed to an E.L speaking Welsh Population whose identity remains weak mainly expressing itself as no morte than a 'Sport Nation'. See below hard facts that few people read Welsh Newspapers and you will see how important it was and, is have a fully comprehensive E.L TV service in Wales.
3: Their big chance came in the 'Sixties' and they messed it! since they have meandered about here and there politically with no full on real patriotic principles, let alone political ones. They are sposed to be for annimal rights but if representing rural areas will consider killing foxes and badgers, they are sposed to be Anti - Nucleur but are up for sustaining Nucleur Power at Wylfa on Ynys Mon. The list could go on as how they were against that now dead in the water St Athans Military Academy but are hardly out front in telling the British Army to get out of the rest Wales. As for defending our land, Plaid Cymru is quiet on issues as the ugly 'Wind Milling of Wales' and the great carve up of Welsh Land as at Vyrnwy and Brecon Estates. At moment they are dodging as best they can saying publically what most of their members think of the English Royalty and that wedding, let alone doing much about it other than welcome William and Kate to Wales and a have a lovely time on Ynys Mon.
4: It is interesting that it's not Plaid Cymru that has taken up seizing the initiative to campaign against Tory Cuts but their youthfull 'useful' Plant Crachach/CyIG and why? Well Plant Crachach needs a No Cuts Campaign 'Trojan Horse' to sustain their soon dead in water campaign to save S£C whilst Plaid Cymru can continue treacherous collaboration in perpetuating Tory Cuts in Wales. They are obviously not listening to those who say that unless there is a clear political link between the 'Referendum Yes Campaigners' with the 'No Cuts Campaign' then most certainly the people will not have much time for an Assembly that will not really fight back against Tory Acts of Aggression Against Wales. So Plaid Nationalists to the fore as Radical Nationalists not moderate moaners and in 'No Cuts' Protests and Demonstrations identify yourselves as Political Nationalists not hide behind 'Cultural Nationalism'.
5: Ultimatly, the big problem for Plaid Cymru is that they are sending out mixed messages, a most fatal thing to be doing not just on day to day issues but regards what should be central to much. I am talking here about being 'Nationalist' and being really up for an Independence Struggle or not? Well! So I suggest that if you want myself and many other Welsh Nationalists to campaign and vote for a 'Yes' in the More Powers Referendum and after that Campaign and Vote for you in the 2011 Assembly Elections. Then you are really and truelly are going to have to let us know where you stand once and fo all, no prefabricating a construct of falseness. Stop being Fakes, be Welsh Nationalists but even then it's not that simple anymore is it? Now more than ever you are going to have to prove to the People of Wales somehow, will having more WAG powers be of a short term use and long term will Welsh Independence really be to our National advantage, to the benefit of our people and their communities.
6: Then what of Welsh National Sovereignty? given that, if as member of the E.U. have we not sold out such Sovereignty in reality, not least re Laws and the Euro etc. Then what of Sovereignty, if like Ireland we messed up and a so called 'Independant Wales' had it's Sovereignty infringed upon by the IMF? Of course, such questions might not count in any immediate Referendum or do they, as example lets face facts does Wales as part of the E.U. really benefit afterall have we not lost more jobs than gained? All the E.U. money handed to Wales for various Infrastructure projects as Road Improvements and new Industrial Eastate and 'Cultural Renewal' plus Cadw's Heritage Tourism etc. How has all that worked out, is working out or might work out over the years ahead?
In conclusion: Suffice to say, the Referedum Yes Vote will not fair well due to the 'Yes Campaign' having failed to get it's act together fast:

However, the big knock out comes with that English Royal Wedding cutting accross all over the Months leading up to the Referendum, given the fact that our people hardly read Welsh News Papers or watch Welsh News on TV anyway. Then all that wedding stuff plus Rugby! and the Referendum will be a non event! so what you going to do about that, I suggest get out on the street fast and wave the flag and make a lot of 'Nationalist Noise', bang the drum loudly. If all fails, then I suggest Welsh Nationalists who are 'Nationalists' and I do mean 'Political Nationalists' not Cultural Nationalists, they have their own self interest rural or class agenda. Have three choices, four possible roads to Freedom, they are:
