Poll: Plaid Cymru welcome findings

In response to the YouGov Barometer poll, Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said she welcomed the fact that more people recognised that Wales needed more powers.

Just as is the case in Scotland, the referendum debate in Wales has further highlighted the need to rebalance powers and wealth in these islands away from where it has become concentrated – in the London city state.
