Geraint Davies. :-) (auto spell)
I wonder how he is going to explain to his constituents when knocking on their doors why he ignored their democratically voted for wishes and voted against Invoking article 50.
Not that it will matter much but I bet he did not expect to have to explain himself so quickly.
When he does win he will obviously accept the result unlike when Brexit won last June.
Democracy only counts with these people if it goes their way. [Post edited 18 Apr 2017 17:40]

He will explain to his local members and constituents. If they don't like his reasons they will boot him out.
I prefer a representative tha votes for what they believe in rather than just go with the flow.

He's voted in and paid by the tax payer to represent his constituents not to impose his personal views against their wishes.
He will not be voted out since labour are always a certainty in Swansea West and he knows he can ignore the views of the people he's paid to represent and still get in.
If he had a majority of say 200 instead 7036 he would not have ignored the people who put him in parliament. | | | |

"I wonder how he is going to explain to his constituents when knocking on their doors why he ignored their democratically voted for wishes and voted against Invoking article 50 "
Probably something to do with him being their democratically elected MP in a parliamentary democracy.
Just a guess like. |  | | |

He'll win his seat by a slim majority (1-2k).
You can still pin a red rosette on a donkey and it would win in Swansea West and East plus NPT and Llanelli wards.

Really! Shocked ðŸ˜
I know Gower went Conservative recently, which fits with the area really. Swansea West more likely to go Conservative than Liberal or Plaid, if voters realise he didn't vote for A50 | |

Hugh Rees. I think he was the MP before Alan Williams, probably early 60s. |  | | |

I know it wasn't run on those constituency boundaries, but I did wonder how how Swansea West would have voted. Makes perfect sense given the collaboration the Uni has with other EU nation states and the likely high concentration of Uni people in that area. |  | | |

Geraint Davies voted for what he felt was right during the A50 vote. I'd much rather any MP do that that blindly follow the wishes of their constituents. The people of Swansea West will get their chance to tell Davies what they think of that vote on 8 June. |  |

Cons won Swansea West in 1959 general election. Lost it the following election, 1964 http://www.politicsresources.net/area/uk/ge59/i19.htm [Post edited 18 Apr 2017 19:53]

Well done Geraint/gearing Davies MP.
Its ignorant self harm on a national scale - and just cos the feckwits dont care or understand (?) about the dire consequences, then you dont have to help them do self harm.
Much better to be a man, make your own decisions, and live or die by them.

Geraint Davies is a tosser
He was parachuted into Swansea West after he lost his own seat in Croydon.
Have asked him questions on several occasions, never to get an answer. Have even looked at records afterwards to find out he couldn't even be arsed to show up to the debates.
If Labour had any respect for the people of Swansea West, they would at least offer up a local, hard working candidate who had the interests of our city at heart, rather than a fat pay cheque and being closer to his home area for the majority of the year.
Brexit or no Brexit, he's a chunt! |  |

As somebody who voted for Davies twice now I won't be doing so again. His line is that there was a slender majority for Remain in Swansea West, although I am not sure whether there is robust data to show that that is correct. He has gone against the Party whip and floated the wacky idea of an amendment to the A50 bill that had no chance of success. He has a highly dubious track record on the expenses front. If the constituency had any sense he would be de-selected. | | | |

Yes, look at the Stoke figures on the same page as Swansea and then compare them to recent elections. The fall is stark over fifty years. | | | |
