MELIN DRAFOD was established in Wales in 2021; its aim, from its website, is “to support, facilitate and be a critical friend to the grassroots Welsh independence movement.”
Also, it is “not affiliated to any political party but works across parties and groups, focusing on giving detailed attention to the questions raised by the rising support for independence.”
At the beginning of the year, Melin Drafod published Achieving an Independent Wales, a financial discussion paper on the viablity of the Welsh economy if independence were implemented in the near term.
