The Telegraph has published the Welsh Devolution Wikileak in full. It reveals that the Americans consider Welsh devolution important because of the destabalising effect it could have on Westminster:
Why is Welsh Devolution Important? ---------------------------------- Welsh devolution poses a particular challenge. If the Welsh vote for their own parliament, the Welsh, Northern Irish, and Scots will continue to send MPs to Westminster to vote on legislation affecting all of the UK. However, the English, who represent approximately 84 percent of the UK,s population, will not have any voting rights on devolved issues in the other three home nations.
Astonishingly Peter Hain emerges as an even bigger knob end than we knew him to be previously.
