    Wales hasn’t been a principality of England for quite a while…

    Wales is a separate constituent country just like England or Scotland.

    It’s NI that’s… complicated.

      Wales being a separate country is debatable.

      They went from being a principality with some sovereignty to having none.

      Currently they have devolved powered but the UK parliament has full sovereignty and can veto anything the Senedd decides.

      They have no currency or mint. No separate legal system. No separate military.

      Essentially they are were a part of England on joining the UK and their sovereignty comes from the UK parliament.

      If Scotland left and the Union was broken they’d be a part of England again.

      Northern Ireland is complicated.

        It’s not really debatable, that’s what they are. A constituent country like Scotland or England.

        They went from being a principality with some sovereignty to having none.

        No. They have some level of sovereignty now. But they are part of the UK and thus can’t ignore UK-level decisions.

        Currently they have devolved powered but the UK parliament has full sovereignty and can veto anything the Senedd decides.

        The same is true for Scotland. England doesn’t even have any power in this sense, they don’t have any devolved parliament. How does this mean Wales isn’t a constituent country of the UK?

        They have no currency or mint. No separate legal system. No separate military.

        So? You’re clearly not understanding what constituent country of the UK means. Yeah, they’re in the UK and use UK currency and military. Legal system is a bit complicated in that they’re joined but Wales can still set their own laws. How is that relevant?

        If Scotland left and the Union was broken they’d be a part of England again.

        No they wouldn’t. This is based on literally nothing other than your own assertion.

        Also, you keep flipping between Wales is part of England and Wales isn’t part of England.
