A Welsh assembly vote next week could enable AMs to "trigger" the process for a referendum on further powers.The Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru leaders, Carwyn Jones and Ieuan Wyn Jones, have confirmed it will begin the process towards the referendum. The vote on Tuesday, 9 February will be drafted to facilitate the so-called "trigger," but the assembly government is not sure of the 40 votes it needs. Both Conservatives and Liberal Democrats say they could abstain.

Plaid may advocate the establishment of an independent Welsh state within the European Union and the Welsh Labour Party may also be on board, but I do not think that a referendum on further powers is among the priorities of Nick Bourne's Conservative Party. He seems to share David Cameron's position.
