on behalf of ‘Wales Supporting YES’, who recently held a successful Rally in

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="yiv1029958223apple-style-span"><i><span style="font-family: Arial;">“There are obvious questions about the usefulness of
this poll, which was a multiple choice question with 5 options, rather
than a clearer Yes or No. Other polls have consistently put support at around
15%, with a recent YES/NO poll for ITV Wales that put support for Welsh
independence on 17% or 20% excluding ‘Don’t Know’s. </span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial;">"On the other hand,
polls commissioned by the BBC have showed far lower levels of support, and have
not used wording consistent with the questions asked in
Scotland. In contrast to what was asked in Scotland, the BBC's
question regarding independence had a negative ending ‘independent from UK’ not
‘an independent country’.”</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial;">“Of course, support for
Welsh independence in Wales is not as high as it could be, this is not
surprising at all of course, because no one has ever made the case. That's
about to change.”</span></i><br />

This poll comes a few days after a new <a href="http://www.itv.com/news/wales/update/2014-09-15/new-poll-shows-wales-strongly-against-scottish-independence/" target="_blank">YouGov poll</a> for ITV Cymru Wales and Cardiff University showed that support for Welsh independence had grown to 20% (Excluding Don't Knows).<br />
<br />
These poll results are very encouraging, considering that support for Welsh independence has traditionally hovered around the 10% mark, and that no political party or group are currently making a strong case for Welsh independence (even though Plaid Cymru support independence as a long term aim). It is also extremely encouraging moving forwards that the younger you are, the more likely you are to support Welsh independence.<br />
<br />
<b>Following the extremely successful rally in Cardiff on Saturday, where up to a 1,000 people came to show their support for Scottish independence, this is more good news. After the results of the referendum are published on Friday - if it's a YES or a NO - the UK will never be the same again. We will need to start a serious, cross-party, inclusive campaign in favour of Welsh independence if we are ever to reach our aim. These results are a very good foundation to build upon. </b>Wales Yeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15464463270957459324noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146405058979967776.post-71173127425160595032014-09-13T10:00:00.000-07:002014-09-13T10:20:46.340-07:00FULL VIDEO: Wales Supporting Yes / FIDEO LLAWN: Cymru'n Cefnogi IEView our event in Cardiff today in full below.

<b><i>I passionately believe in peoples' right to take control of their own lives.</i></b><br />
<br />
<i>Scottish people are fed up with seeing a deteriorating health service
year on year, of continuing cuts in welfare benefits, the Bedroom Tax,
the ever growing gap between the rich and poor; whilst the cost of
nuclear weapons spirals out of control.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Why should Scotland have the largest nuclear submarine fleet in Europe against the express wishes of its people?</i><br />
<br />
<i>The Westminster parliament has for too long taken Scotland's loyalty for granted.</i><br />
<br />
<i><b>I am proud to have been asked to speak in support of Scottish independence outside the Senedd on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1677442461" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">13 September</span></span>.</b>
Some Welsh politicians in the Assembly say it will mean a lifetime of
Tory government. I say that is defeatist talk. When Scotland achieves
its freedom, it will make Westminster think twice before inflicting
their wretched policie slike the Poll Tax, the 1972 Fair Rents Act etc,
which brought so much misery to Welsh people.</i><br />
<br />
<i>No matter which way the vote goes, the British political world will be changed forever.</i><br />
<br />
<i>It will also make us in Wales think very positively about our own future.</i><br />
<br />
<i>So a huge thank you to Scotland and Alex Salmond.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Because of their courage, their people will have a once in a lifetime
opportunity to build a nuclear free future, with all that means for
Wales, Britain and the world.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Take it, cherish it, and enjoy your new freedom, Scotland.</i><br />

<b>In exactly a week’s time, Just days before the Scottish independence referendum, people from all over Wales – from a range of political views – will come together in Cardiff to send voters a clear message: Go for it Scotland!</b><br />
<br />Organised by ‘Wales Supporting YES – Go For It Scotland’ the event will be a grassroots cross-party and no-party event to support the aspirations of the Scottish people for self-determination and independence. Speakers will include: Leanne Wood, Leader of Plaid Cymru; Pippa Bartolotti, Leader of the Green Party in Wales; Labour Councillor Ray Davies from Caerphilly County Borough Council; and Amy Kitcher, Former Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate. <br /><br />
Also speaking will be two Scottish voices, SNP member Jamie Wallace and founding member of the National Collective, Andrew Redmond Barr; As well as other community representatives from Wales and messages of support from grass-roots campaigners and people in Scotland. There will also be live entertainment at the event, and the atmosphere will be of a celebratory and positive nature.<br />
<br />The last few weeks has seen a surge of support in Scotland for independence, YouGov's latest poll on Scottish independence shows the 'no' lead has collapsed to just six points, with the Yes poll rising to 47%, closing the gap substantially on the no vote, presently at 53%.<br />
<br />Iestyn ap Rhobert, of Wales Supporting YES, said: <i>“The people of Scotland have the opportunity of a lifetime on 18th September. We know that most of the mainstream media and other establishment voices are using scare tactics to put pressure on them to vote no. Come and join us on Saturday to send a more positive message from Wales: Go for it Scotland!”</i><br />
<i><br />“We have great speakers coming on Saturday, from a range of political parties in Wales. We’re also very glad to be able to welcome some activists from Scotland to share their experiences in Jamie Wallace a member of the SNP and Andrew Redmond Barr from the National Collective”.</i><br />
<br /><b>Quotes by a speakers</b><br />
<br />Leanne Wood, leader of Plaid Cymru, said: <i>“Being independent is a normal state for any nation. Scotland’s referendum provides an opportunity for people there to build a fairer society based on equality. A YES vote can inspire people in Wales and in other parts of these islands to do more for ourselves and to do our politics differently. Scotland shows us there is an alternative.”</i><br />
<br />Pippa Bartolotti, leader of the Green Party in Wales said: <i>“A yes vote will bring decision making closer to the people of Scotland – and that’s very Green!”</i><br />
<br />Labour Councillor Ray Davies said:<i> “An independent Scotland is a giant step towards a nuclear free world. A victory for Scottish independence will be an inspiration for Wales… and all those who thirst for freedom and the right to control their own lives.”</i><br />
<br />Andrew Barr from the National Collective said: <i>“This rally will be a powerful demonstration to the world that the ideas and aspirations of the people, both in Scotland and elsewhere in these islands, can no longer be afforded to us by the Westminster system. This will undoubtedly be a beautiful gesture to Scotland, but I also hope it will mark the start of a more vocal, more confident movement in Wales.”</i>Wales Yeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15464463270957459324noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146405058979967776.post-46651297027025447192014-09-06T23:30:00.000-07:002014-09-07T10:32:36.746-07:00Digwyddiad aml-bleidiol y tu fas i'r senedd yng Nghaerdydd i gefnogi annibyniaeth i'r Alban<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Wythnos i heddiw, ychydig o ddyddiau cyn refferendwm yr Alban ar annibyniaeth, bydd pobl o ledled Cymru - ac o ystod o safbwyntiau gwleidyddol - yn dod at ei gilydd i Gaerdydd er mwyn danfon neges glir at y pleidleiswyr -: Ewch Amdani'r Alban! </b><br />
<br />
Trefnir y digwyddiad gan "Cymru'n cefnogi IE - Ewch Amdani Alban" , digwyddiad heb unrhyw gysylltiad á phlaid arbennig ac sydd wedi codi o awydd pobl i gefnogi dyhead pobl yr Alban i gael y grym i benderfynu eu dyfodol eu hunain drwy fod yn annibynnol o Lywodraeth Llundain. Bydd y siaradwyr yn cynnwys Leanne Wood, Arweinydd Plaid Cymru; Pippa Bartolotti, Arweinydd Plaid Werdd Cynmru; Y Cynghorydd Llafur Ray Davies o Gyngor Caerffili; ac Amy Kitcher, Cyn ymgeisydd Seneddol y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol.<br />
<br />
Hefyd yn siarad bydd dau lais o'r Alban Jamie Wallace, Aelod o'r SNP, ac un o sylfaenwyr y 'National Collective', Andrew Redmond Barr; ynghyd a chynrychiolwyr cymunedol eraill o Gymru a negeseuon o gefnogaeth gan ymgyrchwyr ar lawr gwlad a phobl yn yr Alban. Bydd hefyd adloniant byw yn ystod y digwyddiad, gydag awyrgylch o ddathlu cadarnhaol.<br />
<br />
Dros yr wythnosau diwethaf cafwyd cynydd mawr yn y gefnogaeth yn yr Alban i annibyniaeth. Mae pól diweddaraf YOuGov ar annibyniaeth i'r Alban yn dangos bod y mantais oedd gan y bleidlais "na" wedi'i chwalu i 6 phwynt yn unig, gyda'r bleidlais "ie" wedi codi i 47% ac yn brysur nesau at y bleidlais na sydd ar 53%. <br />
<br />
Dywed Iestyn ap Rhobert o Cymru'n Cefnogi II : <i>"Mae gan bobl yr Alban gyfle unwaith mewn oes ar y 18fed o Fedi. Gwyddom fod y rhan fwyaf o'r cyfryngau torfol a lleisiau eraill y sefydliad yn defnyddio tactegau dychryn i bwyso ar bobl i bleidleisio na. Dewch i ymuno gyda ni ddydd Sadwrn er mwyn danfon neges mwy cadarnhaol o Gymru: Ewch Amdani'r Alban!”<br /><br />Mae gennym nifer o siaradwyr arbennig yn dod ddydd Sadwrn, o wahanol bleidiau gwleidyddol yng Nghymru. Rydym hefyd yn falch iawn o groesawu rhai ymgyrchwyr o'r Alban i rannu eu profiadau sef Jamie Wallace, Aelod o'r SNP, ac un o sylfaenwyr y 'National Collective', Andrew Redmond Barr"</i><br />
<br />
<b>Dyfyniadau gan siaradwyr:</b><br />
<br />
Dywedodd Leanne Wood, Arweinydd Plaid Cymru: <i>“Mae annibynniaeth yn gyflwr arferol i unrhyw genedl. Mae refferendwm yr Alban yn cynnig cyfle i adeiladu cymdeithas decach wedi ei seilio ar gydraddoldeb. Gall pleidlais IE ysbrydoli pobl yng Nghymru ac mewn mannau eraill o'r ynysoedd hyn i gyflawni mwy dros ein hunain ac i arddel dull wahanol o wleidydda. Dengys yr Alban i ni fod dewis amgen yn bodoli.”</i><br />
<br />
Dywedodd Pippa Bartolotti, arweinydd y Blaid Werdd yng Nghymru: <i>"Daw pleidlais ie â'r broses o wneud penderfyniadau yn nes at bobl yr Alban - ac mae hyn yn wyrdd iawn!"</i><br />
<br />
Dywedodd Ray Davies, Cynghorydd Llafur: <i>“Bydd Alban annibynnol yn gam enfawr tuag at fyd ddi-niwcliar. Bydd buddugoliaeth Alban annibynnol yn ysbrydoliaeth i Gymru. ac i bawb sy'n sychedu am ryddid a'r hawl i reoli eu bywyd eu hunain."</i><br />
<br />
Dywedodd Andrew Barr o'r National Collective : <i>"Bydd y rali hon yn arddangosfa rymus i'r byd fod syniadau a dyheadau'r bobl, yn yr Alban a phob man arall yn yr ynysoedd hyn, ddim yn gallu cael eu diwallu mwyach gan y system yn San Steffan. Bydd, heb amheuaeth, yn arwydd hyfryd i'r Alban, ond gobeithiaf hefyd y bydd yn gychwyn ar fudiad mwy hyderus a mwy llafar yng Nghymru."</i>Wales Yeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15464463270957459324noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146405058979967776.post-81297070904696002292014-09-05T00:04:00.001-07:002014-09-05T00:04:15.728-07:00Diweddaraf: Siaradwyr / Latest: Speakers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The No camp say that an independent Scotland is too risky and its economy will be volatile. To me I can’t think of anything more risky than staying with the Tories and their excessive cuts. The risk of getting a UKIP/Tory coalition voting to quit the EU. The risk of even more cuts, with even Labour saying they will stick to the Tories’ austerity measures. I can’t see how the risk to a country as wealthy as Scotland would be greater if it was to run it’s own affairs.<br />
<br />
They once called it ‘Great’ Britain… and now they tell us UK OK. Is it ok for the 1 in 5 children living in poverty in Scotland? Is it ok for the 100,000 disabled people in Scotland that will be losing their disability benefits? Is it ok for the 71,000 people dependent on foodbanks in the past year alone. Not to mention the bedroom tax.<br />
<br />
This is the first time in centuries that the people of Scotland have the opportunity to create the kind of country they want, through a written constitution and through electing the politicians they vote for. A blank slate wiped clean to paint whatever future they want. In many areas the Scots have already chosen their future. The population has overwhelmingly rejected the Conservatives, poll tax, bedroom tax and nuclear submarines. With a Yes vote on the 18th they will be able to implement these decisions for good.<br />
<br />
This won’t be a goodbye to Scotland, it will be a goodbye to colonialism and empire. This will be a massive ‘Hello’ to a new and more prosperous Scotland on the world stage. With whom they can build new trades and friendship with the rest of our isles based on equality and a shared past.<br />
<br />
For me it’s about democracy and accountability. Here in Wales there is easy access to our politicians in Cardiff, you can attend public meetings / surgeries, email or send them a tweet. I want those politicians based in Cardiff to have the powers so that they are truly accountable to the people of Wales. There isn’t the same accountability in Westminster. It’s a huge establishment miles away with politicians who wouldn’t give any of us the time of day. So that’s what I want, power closer to the people where politicans are accountable and represent our views. That to me is democracy.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146405058979967776.post-66074025445664538622014-08-29T12:16:00.002-07:002014-08-29T12:16:31.756-07:00Andrew Redmond Barr, National CollectiveWe are extremely glad to announce that our latest confirmed speaker is <b>Andrew Redmond Barr</b>, the co-founder of <b>‘<a href="http://nationalcollective.com/">National Collective</a></b>’.

Jamie Wallace is the co-founder of Comann nan Oileanach airson
Neo-Eisimeileachd na h-Alba or CONEA for short. It's an association
based on the Isle of Skye for all students wanting Scottish Independence
and it was a pre-curser to Yes Alba who now act as an umbrella group
for all the other Gaelic independence initiatives. He has spoken at
several events including Yes Skye, Raasay and Lochalsch rally.<br />
<br />
Creator of Yesmahagow which <span class="text_exposed_show">was
inspired by a Sunday Herald article over a year ago and takes an often
satirical take on Indy affairs whilst attempting to bring a local
approach to the debate. The Sunday Herald today, of course, is the only
newspaper to come out and publically support Scottish Independence. It
was also created at a time when there was no official desire for a
village level approach; today there are Yes campaigns from every village
and town in Scotland.</span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
Jamie has been spending most of his time coordinating Gaelic activities
in his home area of Clydesdale after recently helping to establish a new
organising committee and has been busy yessing – helping to man the Yes
Information Hub, deliver leaflets and newspapers and help with the
canvassing of voters.<br />
<br />
Over the past couple of months, Jamie has
become the Gaelic columnist for the SNP's Independence Magazine. He has
been a member of the West Clydesdale branch of the SNP since 2006 and is
now the branch conference delegate. He says:<br />
<br />
<i>“I joined because I
want to see Scotland stand on her own two feet in this world, I want to
see the back of Trident and WMDs from Scotland and I want to see an end
to poverty on our doorsteps. I now also hope to influence the SNP
membership that Gaelic on the whole is a great thing for Scotland. My
ultimate goal is to mimic Wales and have ALBA across the rugby or / and
football tops of our national teams, and to see more development with
Shinty as a national sport.”</i><br />
<br />
Outside his campaigning for Yes,
Jamie likes to take an interest in Gaelic language activities including
its planning and development. He is a final year honours student of
Gàidhlig at the University of Glasgow and is looking forward to being
able to work in an independent Scotland to develop and advance the
cultural, heritage and language aims of the nation.<br />

Tha e fìor a ràdh gu bheil taic mhòr bhon Chuimrigh do
Neo-eisimeileachd na h-Alba, rud a tha glè shoilleir dhuinn ann an Alba.
'S urrainn do gach nàisean Ceilteach an Eileanan Bhreatainn
co-obrachadh gus cùisean a stèidheachadh a dhèanamh cinnteach gum mair
ar cànain tùsanach airson nan ginealaichean ri teachd. Tha mi a' dèanamh
fiughair a bhith còmhla ribh ann an Caerdydd far am bi sinn ag iomairt
gus bhòt nas motha fhaotainn do "Bu Chòir". Rud a ghabhas dèanamh agus a
bhios luachmhòr dhuinn uile.</div>
