The Ynys Mon AM will focus his speech on how a successful referendum will make Wales an even better place to live, to work, and bring up families.
Plaid Cymru’s leader and Wales’ Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones AM said:
“This referendum is about giving power to the people. The Yes campaign is one that is going to be delivered on the front line by ordinary people and whose success will have a hugely positive effect on the people of Wales.
“People in Wales are no less capable of making their own decisions than those in Scotland or Northern Ireland, yet our system is primitive in comparison.
“People in Wales deserve to have the rights to decide how they want their country run. It is time this expensive and long-winded system is ended and instead people in Wales, not committees in Westminster, took control.
“The system in place in Wales is one that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world, and for good reason. Under the current system, I needed three pieces of legislation and four years to make school transport safer. It isn’t right that children’s safety has been jeopardised needlessly because the way our legislation works.
“We need to move to a normal system of government. Swifter, simpler, and much more cost effective, where people and not politics are the primary focus. It is a much needed change and one the other people of Wales should not be denied any longer.
“A yes vote would be a clear sign that as a nation we are ready to take greater responsibility in shaping Wales for future generations. March 3rd is our chance to say Yes for Wales and give ourselves and our children the best possible future.”
