THE newly formed Clwyd East constituency is set to be hotly contested on July 4. The Independent Boundary Commission have redrawn the lines in North Wales so nine constituencies have now become seven. This means the former Vale of Clwyd seat no longer exists – so MP Dr James Davies is one of seven candidates fighting to take the seat at Westminster.
Liberal Democrats candidate Alec Dauncey says he wants to return the power back to the people. “I want to see a Fair Deal for people in Britain – so much has become broken and unfair,” he said. “We need to bring power closer to people.
That means more local responses from councils and respecting and strengthening our Senedd, holding it to account on health, education agriculture, and transport. Westminster politicians have no place interfering in that. “The UK government needs to get to grips with economic fairness and a greener, more innovative economy.
“Well-being and security mean we should work together much more closely to rebuild our relations with our European Union allies and neighbours in an increasingly uncertain world. We need to get on with clear steps towards eventually rejoining the European Union.” He added: “I’m proud that the Liberal Democrats have stood up for the rule of international law in the face of Israel’s response to the appalling attacks of October 2023.
” Conservative candidate Dr James Davies, the former MP for the Vale of Clwyd, has backed Tory plans to alter the Welsh Governmen.
