Davey's personal views, versus views expressed as a member of the government under collective responsibility

The views expressed as a minister must be clear due to the principle of collective responsibility. This makes expressing a personal view a sackable offence from government. Personal views expressed outside of government are not bound by any rules and are just opinion. These need to be separated. at the moment the article is POV pushing at the moment, as it is slanting towards trying to make out that Davey is holding different views or is flip-flopping, or being a hypocrite. This is not acceptable in the article, and must not give off that impression. This section needs re-working to address this POV issue. Sport and politics (talk) 19:24, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Views on nuclear power and shale gas fracking

Why are Davey's views on nuclear power and shale gas fracking, together with the fact that these have changed over the years, not relevant? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:22, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
