Constituency profileedit
Although the constituency voted strongly to leave the European Union in 2016, an analysis of YouGov polling by Focaldata suggested support for Remain had risen from 37.9% to 50.7% in August 2018.[4] However, in the 2019 European elections the city of Swansea as a whole voted strongly for the Brexit Party.[5]
