phildavies1995.bsky.social @phildavies1995.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Thanks and yes the inner workings of the party are very complex even to many long term members themselves. One of the things I was trying to do in the party in my limited capacity was to increase the education about the party to new members😊 110

The concerns and frustrations of people living in Wales often get overlooked by those in England. 020
phildavies1995.bsky.social @phildavies1995.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Whilst I may not be in the party anymore I wish @zackpolanski.bsky.social luck in today’s by-election and hope he wins. Labour are a neoliberal establishment party that will change nothing. I also wish the general media had focused more on my points about Welsh members not feeling supported1/2 130
phildavies1995.bsky.social @phildavies1995.bsky.social · 08/10/20262/2 If you’re not happy you should resign and be replaced by the next person on your parties list. The way elected representatives suddenly forget about voters to me shows arrogance and a disregard for democracy. To me it also shows they are more interested in money than doing the right thing. 041
phildavies1995.bsky.social @phildavies1995.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I still maintain this should not be allowed the same as the Reform member who switched to Plaid. Under the Senedd voting system you were not voted in as an individual you were voted in under a party list. To still allow MS’s (regardless of the party) to switch is completely undemocratic.1/2 152

phildavies1995.bsky.social @phildavies1995.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Correct. For that and many other reasons.

It is infuriating when political pundits treat younger politicians as if they’re chasing there DofE award, rather than co-equal members of a political unit. The Greens do litter pick but we never assign this work by age. 011
phildavies1995.bsky.social @phildavies1995.bsky.social · 01/05/2026I mean I’m happy to do litter picks I’ve done loads throughout the years and when I had more time (pre Senedd campaign) was an active member of a few local litter-picking groups😊 I agree it’s not something the party itself should be expected to be the organisers off across these isles though. 010
