Kirsty Williamsâ decision to join Labour in government in Wales means the Lib Dems no longer have a voice in Welsh politics, according to a Welsh Conservative AM.
Despite promising not to take the âeasy routeâ and join Labour in government, Kirsty Williams opted to take up a ministerial post and membership of the government car pool in May.
Montgomeryshire AM, Russell George, said:
âAhead of the Welsh Assembly elections in May, Kirsty Williams said that the âeasy routeâ for her party would be to join with Labour â and promised that her party would never do such a thing.
âJust weeks later we saw just how flexible her principles are, and having spent years criticising the Welsh Labour Government she took the easy route and sheâs now firmly part of it.
âFar from making a difference, as Mr Farron claims, Kirsty Williamsâ decision to join Labour in the ministerial car pool means that there is no longer a Liberal Democrat voice in Welsh politics.â
