He said: "Everyone in Wales tends to look at the SNP and think 'they are doing wonderfully', but the SNP had to go about winning two general elections in Scotland first - and we have never won a general election yet. Unless we are serious about independence and serious about taking Wales forward, we have to set our aims on winning power and winning elections in Wales.
"Independence for me would mean the break-up of the UK as we know it. That may sound like the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard, but the UK as we know it today is only 90 years old. People tend to think that we've got some kind of long-lasting medieval kingdom here, it's only been going around for less than a century.
"I don't think it will last another century and there will be huge changes in the United Kingdom. Scotland may be the most obvious reason there, but Northern Ireland has an interesting future ahead of it - as does Wales.
"I don't think we exist to dream of an independent Wales, we exist to make independence a reality."
