THE Welsh Conservative leader, Andrew RT Davies, has claimed Wales and Scotland give balance to the United Kingdom.

Writing for the website Huffington Post, he argues that Wales and Scotland have a proud shared culture and rich heritage, which bind the countries far beyond constitutional mechanics.

Mr Davies believes the referendum result will have profound implications for Wales and the UK.

Mr Davies said, “Be in no doubt – the decisions taken in Scotland will have profound implications on all of us. In Wales, we want you to stay. You help us give balance to our United Kingdom in culture, as much as in economics.”
