If anything, Wales is the most independent-minded part of Britain.

Since they appear to be the most clever of the Celtic countries in the British Isles this not necessarily so surprising.

So far what I've read seems to show that the Welsh are indeed genetically distinct from the English. Perhaps the Roman occupation (which didn't occur in upper Scotland and Ireland) allowed the populace there to evolve higher IQs, unlike the unconquered Scots and Irish.

The Celts themselves seem to be related to the Basques of the Iberian peninsula, which makes sense since the Celtic peoples seem to be concentrated along the Atlantic coast.
