A member of the Conservative Party, he voted against his party's parliamentary whip over 250 times, making him the most rebellious Conservative MP of his era. He was criticised for "talking out" parliamentary bills not supported by the government and by doing so "kill off legislation he doesn't like".

Additional quotes by Philip Davies
When I first got elected to Parliament my mentor was Eric Forth [the former Tory MP] and he really was the past master of talking out bills on a Friday. [...] He did it for fun and he was brilliant at it. After he died I vowed I would do the same kind of work.
He taught me that lots of these have all got a worthy sentiment behind them but you can’t pass legislation on the whim of a worthy sentiment because it affects people’s lives and livelihoods. I agree with him. It is a very unsatisfactory way to pass legislation.
