Is Wales a Country or a Principality?
Wales is not a Principality. Although we are joined with England by land, and we are part of Great Britain, Wales is a country in its own right.
We have a long history that goes from the old welsh kingdoms and the middle ages. We have had a 'Prince of Wales' from 1301, when Edward I created the title. The title is given to the eldest son of each English monarch.
Our Prince of Wales at the moment is Prince Charles, who is the present heir to the throne. But he does not have a role in the governance of Wales, even though his title might suggest that he does.
On 18 September 1997, we voted in favour of devolution in Wales. Before that, we were run entirely by the UK government in London. We were then given the powers we need to make secondary laws that affect us by an act called the Government of Wales Act 1998.
In 2006, we expanded on this act and have gained more powers for our country with the Government of Wales Act 2006. Our government's document 'One Wales' refers to us as a country or nation in its own right

confirms what I just said - I had the same argument with a Manc at work not long ago, he also tried to say Wales was a principality of England, and that Ryan Giggs was actually English :laughing5:

He's right, making yourself out to be a dull c**t here.

Also, Plaid Cymru pushed for it, but it hasn't gone further as the Welsh public haven't given them office.

You're getting boring now. You've been proved wrong time and time again. We're a massive city. We have an airport. You are fortunate you have a KwikFit.
