Nobody I know of around here wants us to leave the UK.
I’m appealing to a fairly widely understood definition of political nationalism here, which I don’t think is controversial given the thread title. By that yardstick you’re not a nationalist at all, but given that Wales has tended to assert its nationhood culturally rather than politically I guess it’s not surprising for Welsh people to consider themselves nationalist without the accompanying political ambitions for the nation.
