Blogging
Davies' blog, 'A View from Rural Wales' is generally regarded as one of Wales' most popular political blogs. The UK blogger Iain Dale is quoted as saying, "By common consensus the best politician blogger in Wales and he's a real character". Davies kept up blogging after losing his seat in the National Assembly and is seen as fairly non-partisan for a Conservative and often very funny. At times in 2007 he was almost single-handedly fighting for a 'rainbow coalition' through his blog.
Davies recently defended the sacked former blogger Christopher Glamorganshire, and is quoted as saying “The Christopher Glamorganshire blog was on my list of ‘my favourites’. It seemed to me to be written in a sensible and rational manner. Clearly, if his contract of employment said he was not allowed to blog, he doesn’t have much of a case. But if it is simply a question of supposedly contravening the code, I think sacking him is very harsh and heavy handed. This all smacks of the heavy hand of the state.”
His blog was voted the second most popular Welsh political blog in Iain Dale's Total Politics Guide to Blogging 2008-09, a position he has maintained from the previous year.
