As other candidates come forward we will add their views too.<br \/>\nCardiff West has been a safe Labour seat for the past 25 years with incumbent Mark Drakeford winning 47% of the vote in 2011. However at a time when 100-1 outsiders can become Labour leader anything is possible.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>If\u00a0you were a bookie what odds would you give yourself in an Assembly election?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Mark Drakeford:<\/strong>\u00a0I\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5\">took half the votes at the last election. If you look at history you will see the contest\u00a0in Cardiff West has\u00a0always between the Tories and Labour. Plaid think they can win. Plaid always do better in regional elections but our contest is with the Tories. I would think, without been complacent, we are the most likely party to\u00a0win. But the election will be a proper contest and we have to convince people and not let them feel like\u00a0we are taking them for granted.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Neil McEvoy:<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019m actually looking for a price. If you hear of a bookie offering one, let me know because I quite fancy my chances.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Cadan ap Thomos:<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think &#8220;plucky outsider 50\/1&#8221;. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can approach a campaign and know it will be hard to win but still be honest, open and raise the issues other people are not willing to say.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>What is your greatest achievement in politics to date?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MD:<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Opponents of the Assembly argued that it would not be up to the job. T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">he organ donation legislation absolutely belies the criticism. I believe is a groundbreaking piece of legislation.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>NM:<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have not done enough yet. I\u2019m proud of several things. One \u00a0is overturning such a large Labour majority in Fairwater and winning close on 50% of the vote, where Labour historically used to get 70%. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>CaT:<\/strong> As a party what we are close to achieving is the More Nurses Bill. That will be a great change in healthcare that is designed to ensure there are adequate numbers of nurses on wards.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>What do you see as the challenges as Cardiff West AM?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MD:\u00a0<\/strong>Individually housing is by far the biggest issue that dominates my surgeries. If you put housing in one pile and everything else in another. Housing would still be bigger.<br \/>\nThe collective issue are immigration and asylum. \u00a0We have a very large Bangladeshi and Pakistani community in South Riverside. We have a fantastic community there and the\u00a0Bangladeshi\u00a0and Pakistani\u00a0communities are huge contributors to life in Cardiff West. But when something goes wrong and\u00a0gets into the headlines it can cause huge anxiety in those communities.<br \/>\n<strong>NM:\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are pretty poorly served at the minute. I would like to really engage with people, by making a pledge to knock on every door over an Assembly term. <\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>CaT:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cardiff West is a mix. Representing an area with a mixed demographic is quite a challenge.\u00a0<\/span>There are huge issues with regards to\u00a0affordable\u00a0housing and service provision. Also far-off areas like Radyr feel left out. There has\u00a0been potholes on roads up there for years.<br \/>\n<strong>Who are your political heroes?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MD:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Barbara Castle. She was a prominent figure when I was first interested in politics in my teens. A woman very much in a man&#8217;s world and her politics are my kind of politics.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I still use the ideas she developed when she was Minister for Health such as a social wage.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>NM:<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have several. One is Michael Collins. He was given a poisoned chalice and he signed his own death warrant in the interest of his country. He did what needed doing and helped free Ireland.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>CaT:\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Charles Kennedy. He was leader when I was young. He always sounded like he was not just talking sense but he was talking human. <\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>If you could have done something different during your time in politics what would it be?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MD:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I look back at the post-devolution era I think we could have been bolder in some of the things we have done. Sometimes we have run behind public opinion. Politicians\u00a0thought they were breaking new ground but the public had got there first. Like smoking in public places.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>NM:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Left the Labour Party earlier.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>CaT:<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I stood in the General Election\u00a0and it was the first time I put my head above the parapet. It is easy to just type up a press release but harder to stand up and say it. It is important not to always be in attack mode in politics and if I was going to do anything differently I would have realised that earlier.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>If you could be professional in any sport what would it be?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MD:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I would be a cricketer. I&#8217;m a batsman who can bowl leg breaks.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>NM:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Football.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>CaT:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My favorite sport is Formula One\u00a0but I don&#8217;t think I would want to drive the cars. <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I would be a cyclist. I did a bit or road racing when I was younger. Without all the drugs obviously. \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What would be your dream holiday if money was no object?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MD:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If I knew that the weather would be good I would go to Pembrokeshire. It\u2019s where I normally go and I genuinely wouldn&#8217;t go anywhere else. However the weather is not guaranteed in Pembrokeshire so I would go to Greece.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>NM:\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The moon.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>CaT:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I&#8217;m afraid of flying so I wouldn&#8217;t go very far. But if I didn&#8217;t have to fly I would go to Canada. They have just elected a Liberal government with a gender equal government. So apart from been a beautiful country it sounds like a liberal paradise.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>If you had to give the people of Cardiff West one reason to vote for you what would it be?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MD:<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My one reason would always be because of the party I represent. Because I would be the Labour candidate. Because of the awful level of\u00a0cuts we are going face in the next five years people in my constituency\u00a0need the protection of a Labour government.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>NM:<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My personal record to now.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>CaT:<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I can offer something different. I am a young person who knows what it&#8217;s like to live and work in this city. I may be young but I have lots of experience. I have been self-employed and been a school governor. \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Is there an area of policy you are particularly interested in?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MD:<\/strong> As the Health Minister I would have say health.<br \/>\n<strong>NM:<\/strong> Economic development, education and the family area.<br \/>\n<strong>CaT:<\/strong> Education is something that is important to me. Education is the great mover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IN\u00a0six months the people of Cardiff West will be voting for the person to represent them in the Assembly for the next four years.
