Caerfyrddin.

Plaid Cymru's Caerfyrddin MP has been one of the most consistent opponents of assisted dying legislation in the current Parliament. Ann Davies voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at both Second and Third Reading -- breaking with the majority of her Plaid Cymru colleagues each time -- making her position among the clearest and most persistent rebel stances in her party on this issue. More recently she voted to refer Prime Minister Starmer to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson appointment, opposed the government's asylum support regulations, and backed a King's Speech amendment signalling dissatisfaction with the government's legislative agenda -- a pattern that places her well to the left of Labour on welfare and civil liberties.

Her participation rate of 53% sits below the Commons average, though news coverage from September 2025 specifically noted that Plaid Cymru's new intake -- with Davies prominent among them -- led Welsh newcomers in Westminster activity. She votes with her party on 98.9% of divisions, deviating mainly on assisted dying and Lords scrutiny, where she is notably more resistant to government overrides than her Plaid colleagues. Her 175 contributions span 129 debates, with economy and jobs, local government, social care, and fiscal policy dominating her speech record. She has also spoken on coal tip safety, rural banking, and agricultural issues.

Davies sits on the Welsh Affairs Committee, and her speech topics align closely with a farming and rural background -- she was shortlisted for a Women in Agriculture award in early 2025. Recent news coverage, spread across 87 articles in the past 90 days, is largely neutral in tone, covering transport, crime, and community issues in Caerfyrddin. Detailed voting data covers 521 divisions since July 2024.
