Until 2024 Cardiff West was entirely within the boundaries of the City of Cardiff, though in 2024 (as a result of the2023 Review of UK constituences) it gained theRhondda Cynon Taf ward ofPontyclun.[4]

Constituency profile

[edit]

Population areas within the constituency include Riverside, Pontcanna, St Fagans and Ely. There are someConservative andPlaid Cymru-leaning 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 safeLabour seat, represented for 33 years byGeorge Thomas (who became Speaker in 1976 and was re-elected without party affiliation in 1979). It has returned aConservative only once, in the Tories' landslide year of 1983, whenStefan Terlezki became the MP.

Labour regained the seat at the next general election in 1987, whenRhodri Morgan was elected. After the creation of theWelsh Assembly Government, Morgan stepped down from his Westminster seat in 2001 to serve as leader ofWelsh Labour andFirst Minister for Wales.Kevin Brennan retained the seat for Labour on Morgan's retirement from Westminster politics. Following the announcement of the date of the2024 general election Brennan announced his retirement from politics.[9]
