This week on Politics from the Moon we speak with Alex Davies-Jones MP, the Member of Parliament for the constituency of Pontypridd in South Wales (at the UK level). Listen to Alex's insights into why she joined the Labour Party, why she stood for council and ultimately for Parliament. Alex is a passionate advocate for the valley's constituency and for several social justice campaigns.
In the UK, since the late 1990s, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have had devolved parliamentary institutions, which similar to state governments in Australia, handle most domestic policies for the constituent parts of the UK, eg. Education, Health, Natural Resources, etc.. Whilst the UK parliament, which still governs England bizarrely, governs UK nation-wide policies, tax, defence and other such issues.
