This has been going on for decades in Britain and many many other countries also, its totally unrealistic to expect each area of a nation to be as competitive and productive as its regional neighbours.
The idea is that we all pull together and money is spent in the areas of greatest need, thats what nations do.
I mean we are hardly going short in the south-east and London...as mentioned above if the Welsh Assembly choose to subsidize their higher education it means they'll have less to spend on other public services.
