Description

Wales Says Yes provides the definitive account and analysis of the March 2011 Welsh referendum. Drawing on extensive historical research, the book explains the background to the referendum, why it was held and what was at stake. The book also explains how the rival Yes and No campaigns emerged, and the varying degree of success with which they functioned. Through a detailed account of the results, and analysis of survey evidence on Welsh voters, the book explains why Wales voted Yes in March 2011. Finally, it considers what that result may mean for the future of both Wales and the UK.
Chapter One: The Road to the Referendum Chapter Two: The Unlikely Survival of the Platypus: Constitution Building in Wales Chapter Three: The Evolution of Public Attitudes Chapter Four: From Coalition Agreement to Polling Day Chapter Five: The Referendum Result Chapter Six: The People's Choice: Explaining Voting in the Referendum Chapter Seven: The Implications
