What the petition asks
The people deserve more power for Wales in Wales, independent or not. The idea of Welsh sovereignty has been around since Owain Glyndwr was crowned Prince of Wales in 1404. Since then Wales has suffered issues with the schooling, mining and all round abuse regarding the culture and the language.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
