In May 2007 Alun Davies was elected as a regional Labour AM for Mid and West Wales. In July 2009 he was selected to stand in Blaenau Gwent at the 2011 Assembly elections. As far as I can make out he nowadays spends most of his time arguing to move transport funding from rural Mid and West Wales to the Heads of the Valleys. We can see why he is doing this but if he was a proper democrat he should resign his seat and let us have sombody who would represent Mid and West Wales.
Can even Trump get something right?

Under the system of PR used for the Assembly, if Alun were to resign his regional seat, the next candidate on the list (Jon Owen-Jones) would be appointed. If he said that he wasn't interested then Rhiannon Stone would be appointed. Only if she refused would there be a by-election for the regional list.
To be honest I'm baffled as to what most AMs do. I still don't understand how they can give their full attention to the people that they represent when they become Ministers either
Some Ministers are capable of being Ministers and good constituency representatives, we have got one in Ceredigion with Elin Jones.
