Nah,The Welsh neer wanted an assembly. Less than half of the country voted, and only 53% of those that did vote said yes.
I did hear tell that it was largely a europe-driven initiative: apparrently the UK as one unit had too much voting power in the E.U., so we've been subdivided into smaller units with much less power.
The other theory is that it was just to stop the welsh from whining '..but the scots got one, why can't we?'.
Speaking as a welshman, the Assembly is a load of bollocks.
