I wouldn’t liken them to colonies, you are right it is certainly not that bad.
I was mainly thinking that even though never voting anywhere near majority conservative these countries have to suffer many laws and changes imposed on them from England by tory controlled Westminster, despite their devolved governments.
I can understand how having poverty imposed on them by a government that the country did not vote for could fuel an independence movement. Seeing as things aren’t going to change too soon I can only see this movement gaining more traction in wales.
As for the labour losses last election, the situation was similar to the north where the main swing was lab to bxp resulting in more Tory seats. It was triggered by labours abandoning of Brexit. Whether this translates into a long term movement of Wales towards more reactionary politics, in my opinion, still remains to be seen.
