Episode description

Former First Minister Carwyn Jones believes that Wales has yet to be polarised on the basis of nationalism and unionism as in Scotland and that there is still time for a reformed British Union to offer Welsh citizens greater autonomy for their country while retaining beneficial elements of the United Kingdom. This short episode features a clip of a speech given by the former leader of Welsh Labour at University College Dublin. We're curious to know what you think about this vision about the future constitution of Wales and the UK. And while you're thinking about our national future... we'd like to encourage all of our listeners to engage with the Welsh Government's Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales.
