The level of support for independence in Wales is similar to that in Scotland's a decade ago, Plaid Cymru's leader has claimed.
Adam Price told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show "more and more" people were supporting the idea because of the state of the economy and the level of inequality in Welsh society.
Mr Price said independence would put Wales "on a better path".
But Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas said a referendum now would not be "wise".
Mr Price said: "We are not going to be able to put Wales on a better path, on a better trajectory, without independence.
