Adam Price, the leader of Plaid Cymru, has promised that his party would offer a referendum if it formed a government and got a Senedd majority to back it.
It is a first for the party, which has never previously promised to offer an independence vote in the first term of a Plaid government.
The UK government in Westminster allowed a vote to take place in Scotland in 2014 after the SNP won a majority in the Scottish Parliament elections three years earlier, so a similar decision could be made for Wales.
Price says that something ‘new and better’ must come out of the coronavirus crisis and ‘independence is the most radical idea in Welsh politics today’. He believes that Wales is in real danger of being be left behind as part of a ‘rump United Kingdom’.
His policy change, having previously pledged that a referendum would take place in the second term of a Plaid government and before 2030, follows a report commissioned by the party which recommended two referendums on independence. The first to be a ‘multi-choice’ exercise to gauge opinion, and the second a vote on the preferred option in the referendum.
