Plaid Cymru MP in Plaid Cymru - The Party of Wales-controlled territory.

Ann Davies broke with Plaid Cymru three times on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill — voting against it at both Second Reading and Third Reading, and backing a tightening amendment (New Clause 16) that would have barred applications where the wish to die was substantially driven by financial pressure, disability, or fear of being a burden. Her party was split on the bill, but Davies sat consistently on the restrictive end. More recently, she has been active on the Armed Forces Bill and the National Security (State Threats) Bill, voting on multiple amendments in June 2026 — though the content of individual clauses is not fully documented.

At 54% voting participation she falls below the Commons average, though a 2025 Nation.Cymru report noted she led the Welsh new intake in parliamentary activity — suggesting her time is skewed toward debates and speeches rather than votes. She has made 189 contributions across 137 debates since July 2024, with the economy, local government, social care, and fiscal policy dominating. She is a 99% party-line voter on everything outside assisted dying. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and climate action, but low alignment with fiscal-responsibility measures (19%) and pro-business votes (24%).

Her Welsh Affairs Committee seat and her speech record both point to a consistent local-issues focus: she has raised rural banking access, Carmarthen railway station improvements, coal tip safety funding, and agricultural concerns in Parliament. News coverage over the past 90 days spans crime, culture, transport, and local economy — mostly neutral in sentiment. Background as an advocate for Welsh rural communities clearly shapes her priorities. Rebel-vote data is complete; some Armed Forces Bill amendment details remain undocumented.
