JOE BESWICK of the London Renters Union talks to the Morning Star’s new Left on Record programme
Making the case for Welsh federalism
With a new report showing that much of the public feels disconnected from discussions about the constitutional future, it’s important to engage with people’s current experience and everyday lives, argues DAI MORGAN

THE recent report of the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales presents a major challenge to those of us advocating a federal structure for Britain.
The report recognises federalism as a viable option alongside strengthened devolution and independence options. However, it also describes federalism as “…generally the least attractive option for citizens across all the strands of our engagement.”
We need to consider the reasons given for this outcome, by the report authors. Can they be rebuffed? What work do we need to do to remedy this?
