The Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Darren Millar, has written to Nigel Farage demanding clarity over his position on the future of the United Kingdom, following reports he described the prospect of a further Scottish independence referendum as “quite reasonable”.
In the letter, Mr Millar warns that such comments risk undermining the Union and creating unnecessary uncertainty ahead of the Senedd elections.
Commenting, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Darren Millar said:
“It is deeply concerning that Nigel Farage has suggested that another Scottish independence referendum is ‘quite reasonable’.
“The people of Wales deserve clarity. If Nigel Farage believes a referendum on Scottish independence is reasonable, does he also believe the same applies to Wales?
“With Plaid Cymru and the Greens openly supporting Welsh independence, and Labour sleepwalking towards it, only the Welsh Conservatives can be trusted to protect the Union and keep Wales strong within the United Kingdom.”
