The Senedd’s only Liberal Democrat has claimed that independence would be so devastating for Wales that it would “make Brexit look like a walk in the park”.

Mid and West Wales MS Jane Dodds made the comments on Monday (April 28) following the announcement of Plaid Cymru’s new economic plan for Wales.

The party – led by Ynys Môn MS Rhun ap Iorwerth – has promised to “breathe new life” into the Welsh economy if they win the next Senedd election in May 2026.

    Despite what some idealistic people will say, independence will require a huge amount of bureaucracy to achieve which will dwarf that of leaving the EU.

    I realise the Lib Dems are likely trying to put a wedge between the parties with this statement, but I am fairly certain they have been pushing for increase devolution which is a pretty similar viewpoint of Plaid at the moment.
