Rhys Davies, Swansea and West Wales Socialist Party
The Brexit referendum served as a catalyst to many things, to the working class it bought politics to the forefront of discussions. While I couldn’t vote, I still watched the referendum closely as it was the only thing anyone was discussing. So I went in search of a party that was best for me.
Labour under Corbyn took more of a left turn than had been seen for decades. However, I lost trust after the failure of Welsh Labour to stand against the Tory austerity measures, or even to offer assistance in the crisis.
So I looked to other parties like the Greens and Plaid Cymru, but they lack the political ideas I was looking for.
Despite what I thought about Welsh Labour I can recognise that Corbyn was offering something different, a more radical plan like nationalisation, better welfare programmes and higher wages.
