As to why what is happening? A pro-independence campaign group gaining a few thousand members?
There was an election in Wales just a few months ago, and the Tories got one of their best ever results, while Plaid (the main pro-independence party) fell below 10% for the first time in decades. There would need to be a massive surge in support for both independence and pro-independence parties for it to even become a realistic possibility, and there really isn't much sign of either.
I know Britain is a shithole country and we deserve all the criticism we get, but it's incredibly cringe when American lefties pick out random regions and start white knighting them on the assumption that everyone there is an oppressed socialist. It's also kind of insulting to many of Britain's actual former colonies to keep acting as if Scotland and Wales are being treated the same as they were. Like, Scottish and Welsh people can vote, and they don't have a history of massive man-made famines, and they have autonomous governments that aren't controlled by minority settler populations.
