       In an hour-long debate, Mr Waters, MS for Llanelli, said that "no
       doubt, politics in this country has become darker"”.
        
       He recounted a year in his consistency where he had encountered
       "lying, manipulation, racist abuse, arson" and "mobs whipped up by the
       visiting far right descending on the homes of those who put their
       heads above the parapet".
        
       He added: "It's been an awful, upsetting experience seeing ugliness
       becoming quietly normalised.
        
       “It’s naive... to think that democratic traditions are sacred. We
       mustn’t allow this… norm spoiling in any form."
        
       Peter Fox, Welsh Conservative, told the debate: "It is so fundamental
       that we try to rebuild the trust that has been diminished in in our
       vocation, because it's so fundamental to democracy that we are trusted
       and believed.
        
       "Sadly, that's been eroded."
        
       But he said he was concerned Mr Antoniw's proposal "might not give the
       parliamentary time to enable things to go forward".
