In what’s shaping up to be a battle of words, Welsh secretary Peter Hain seems to feel the UK is in danger of breaking apart. This contention has been counterd by Plaid Deputy Leader, Rhodri Glyn Thomas AM, suggests Mr. Hain is out to cause concern to boost support for the Labour Party.

Mr. Thomas stated, ” Peter Hain is once again peddling this negative politics. He’s gone from the unbelievable - he was talking about a Conservative-led coalition which nobody believes will happen - and now he’s gone to the totally absurd. He says a vote for Plaid or the Conservatives would undermine the union. This is ridiculuous.”

But Mr. Hain warns against “nationalist introspection” in Wales, he added: “Unless we see it off, it will prove a one-way street to the disintegration of the United Kingdom - and a one-way street to irrelevance for Wales.”

BBC has run a poll on the state of the union and will report the results on Tuesday.
