When focusing on polling numbers there is one major factor that disproportionately effects Wales and that is having the largest number of resident English born people than any other Celtic nation due to an unavoidable close geography. According to recent ONS data 2021 Wales has 27% of English born people, with 10% in Scotland and 3% in Northern Ireland. How does this effect an indigenous Welsh vote? Well as England own and control Wales through still being annexed to England (as evidenced through the England and Wales term, no representation on the union jack, or the English royal family banner) and Wales controlled through 543 English MPs in a majority vote system in Westminster. Consequently, it is reasonable to highlight specifically people who were born in England, as these people will be the only cohort in Wales that would have a unique natural ‘conflict of interests’, and disproportionately over represented, who would be more inclined to maintain control of Wales, it would essentially be like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas. This 27% (ONS 2021) English cohort in Wales will always be the deciding factor as to whether Wales wins an independence vote or not (if allowed), and skews polling figures, so needs addressing directly (the next largest cohort in Wales is Polish at 0.7% ONS 2021, to give some context). Most fair minded people would agree that a disproportionate English nationality voting on the future of a Welsh nationality would be unreasonable (particularly given a natural conflict of interests).
