Parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom, 1950 onwards
Cardiff West (Welsh : Gorllewin Caerdydd ) is a constituency [n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2001 by Kevin Brennan of the Labour Party .[n 2]
The constituency retained its name and gained wards as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the June 2023 final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Wales for the 2024 United Kingdom general election .[3]
Constituency profile [ edit ]
Population areas within the constituency include Riverside, Pontcanna, St Fagans and Ely. There are some Conservative-voting areas in the north of the seat such as Creigiau and St Fagans, Pentyrch and Radyr, but the bulk of the seat comprises districts towards the centre of Cardiff such as Caerau, Canton, Ely and Riverside which are very strongly Labour.
History [ edit ]
A traditionally safe Labour seat, represented for 33 years by George Thomas (who became Speaker in 1976 and was re-elected without party affiliation in 1979). It has returned a Conservative only once, in the Tories' landslide year of 1983, when Stefan Terlezki became the MP.
Labour regained the seat at the next general election in 1987, when Rhodri Morgan was elected. After the creation of the Welsh Assembly Government , Morgan stepped down from his Westminster seat in 2001 to serve as leader of Welsh Labour and First Minister for Wales . Kevin Brennan retained the seat for Labour on Morgan's retirement from Westminster politics and has remained the MP ever since.
Boundaries [ edit ]
