In 1997, Wales held a referendum on forming a National Assembly with devolved powers from Westminster. The result was 50.3% in favour of devolution. Theresa May and a large number of other Conservative MPs voted against the establishment of the Assembly, contrary to the result of the referendum. The Assembly was eventually established in 1998. In 2005, the Conservative party manifesto included a pledge to call a second referendum on the Welsh assembly, with the option to abolish it. The people who are saying that we should respect the result of this referendum have a proven track record of not respecting the results of other referendums. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-46863044 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-46863044
