24 June 2024 – Radyr Hustings
The UK General Election will be held on Thursday 5 May 2022. This will include election of our representative for the Cardiff West Constituency in the UK Parliament.
In order to help voters decide who to vote for, the RMA have organised a hybrid hustings event for Monday 24 June 2024 starting at 19.30. You can either attend on-site at the Old Church Rooms or online via Zoom.
Our long-standing Member of Parliament, Kevin Brennan MP is stepping down in this election. He will be replaced by a new representatives for the re-shaped Cardiff West Constituency following the reduction in the number of Welsh Constituencies recommended by the Boundary Commission.
Update (27/06/2024)
Thank you to everyone who submitted questions in advance and those who attended both at the Old Church Rooms and online via Zoom.
The 5 (of 9) Candidates who attended were:
- Alex Barros-Curtis (Labour)
- James Hamblin (Conservative)
- Keira Marsall (Plaid Cymru)
- Neil McEvoy (Propel)
- John Urquhart (Independent)
We apologise that, due to technical difficulties on the night, the video quality is not what we had intended. Whilst we have captured candidates audio for the whole evening there is also a short portion where the cameras cut out all together. Also, during the meeting a decision was taken to permit questions from the floor after candidates final speeches. This was not an expected part of the format. Where these are not picked up by our microphones, we have attempted to overlay summaries of the questions asked but they are only interpretations as best the Zoom operator could achieve in real-time.
*All candidates on the ballot paper for Cardiff West were invited to this non-selective hustings. Those listed above are the candidates who have responded positively to this invitation.
