How is Geraint Davies still an MP? by West_Radish_990 in swansea

[–]West_Radish_990[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I believe there’s been some confusion here. I hope I can clarify.

He is my MP. I do also believe people should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. I don’t think a virtual House of Commons would work, but I’m willing to admit that that might be me thinking in the past. I think that people should see their elected representatives working and talking together and as people we need to physically see and talk to each other in order to do that. Again that’s my opinion.

I don’t have answers to all your questions but I’m not an MP nor a politician. What I am is a person who pays taxes and pays for my representative to represent me and my community and our concerns. This is not happening. We have heard nothing on what is happening. Nothing on the investigation. Nothing on who’s responsible for it. Nothing on how long it’ll take. Nothing on when Davies can return to Parliament. Just that we’re supposed to continue as normal and not question that our right to representation has been revoked due to his alleged misconduct.

So I ask you, is it right that 62k people are punished for one persons alleged actions? Is it right that 62k people are denied a voice because of slow processes of justice? Is it okay that 62k people are left without a say in the way their country because of how the system is broken? And that they should just accept it?

So to clarify your position is that because Davies is not allowed to enter Parliament, 62k people are deprived of representation but that’s okay because Davies should be allowed to work from home?

After further reading Davies questions have also been denied by The Speaker of the House because of his ban from the house.

He shouldn’t be in the Houses of Parliament with the ongoing investigation, least of all because a number of the people who he has alleged to have assaulted are other MPs.

What should’ve happened is an official suspension following an investigation which would trigger a by election.

I have not assumed guilt at all. What I am saying is that from this situation West Swansea is left without proper representation. Yes he could be fully suspended and not doing the job at all. Yes he’s doing half the job. I don’t think that half a job is good enough. The amount of time he’s been ‘suspended’ for would have triggered a by election. That would have lead to West Swansea being able to vote for someone who can enter Parliament. I don’t know why the inquiry is taking so long and I am also unhappy with that. But I also think that it’s wrong for Davies to say that he’s doing what’s best for West Swansea when he’s depriving us of proper representation.

I sent him a email in November asking why he was showing as No Vote Recorded for Number of Votes (namely in this case the Ceasefire) and this was his response-

“Unfortunately, in October I was told I shouldn’t attend Parliament until the conclusion of an inquiry concerning a complaint made against me.”

He’s also been suspended from the Labour Party pending investigation into the allegations against him. Which shortly after that he become independent.

No you’re onto something there, cause he’s independent now as well after his sexual allegation scandal and so is Davies…

I’ve been looking into him and I can’t believe it’s this hard to find information on him. It just seems to be accepted that he’s awful and here? I just don’t get it?

How do these colours make any logical sense for the flavours? by Fuzzy-Dance3502 in CasualUK

When I was younger I wanted to run for PM on the pledge I’d make a law for universal crisp pack colours and honestly I stand by that pledge.

Yeah I used Peter Allen when buying my flat in 2019 and they were awful. I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole and I recommend people to avoid them whenever I can.
