"The idea of a referendum is being used by those opposed to a Welsh Parliament as a delaying device."
Peter Hain MP, "A Parliament for Wales", Gwasg Gomer, 1994.
"There is no way the legislation could have got through without including the need for a referendum...you could not have changed the 1997 settlement unless there was a referendum built in."
Peter Hain MP, referring to GOWA 2006 in a conference speech, November 6, 2008.

Campaigning for more democratic powers for Wales
YES - IE
Wales First - Cymru Gyntaf
is a non-party political group calling for a "Yes" vote in the upcoming referendum on full lawmaking powers for the Welsh Assembly.
Mae'n grŵp allbleidiol sydd yn galw am bleidlais "IE" yn y refferendwm arfaethedig ar hawliau deddfu llawn i Gynulliad Cymru.
Our aim is to use the internet to mobilise popular support for a full Parliament for Wales.
Ein bwriad yw defnyddio'r we i godi cefnogaeth boblogaidd dros Senedd i Gymru.
Let's give our first democratically elected forum here in Wales the power it needs to put WALES FIRST.
Mynnwn fod ein corff etholedig democrataidd cenedlaethol yn cael y grym i roi CYMRU GYNTAF.

A free Wales under the aegis of a benevolent Europe, would work well, or even as the next state of america. Dump the UK and go USA! I mean, we'd have loads of goodwill and US business would arrive. We could even get our first skyscraper in Ystradgynlais! Or Pontardawe International Airport...now that's a thought!
The cynical behaviour of our MPs certainly helps to make the case for Welsh Independence, even though that is not within the remit of Wales First.
Their control-freakery on the Housing LCO issue is a case in point. Why are they trying to narrow the terms of legislation that is designed to help people who are struggling to keep a roof over their heads.
Would it be because London Labour have refused to revoke the Right to Buy, brought in by Thatcher, and they are embarassed by the prospect of an Assembly having the power to do so, if only for a temporary period.
