Federalism is ‘only way’

THE Communist Party in Wales has called for federalism in Britain as “the only progressive and democratic solution to the national question.”

Speaking in the party’s Welsh congress in Pontypridd this weekend, Welsh CP secretary Trevor Jones said that equal status between the nations of Britain is essential if they are to stay together.

“The Tory government’s latest devolution proposals are a constitutional dog’s breakfast,” he told delegates.

“Allowing England’s 533 MPs to overrule 40 Welsh MPs on everything from criminal justice, policing and land use to major infrastructure projects, sports ground safety and dangerous dogs.”
