In the regional election, voters chose from a list of parties to represent them. The South Wales East region includes the constituencies of Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Islwyn, Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney, Monmouth, Newport East, Newport West and Torfaen. The elected members for the region are Delyth Jewell and Peredur Owen Griffiths of Plaid Cymru and Laura Anne Jones and Natasha Asghar of the Conservative Party. Although Labour won 85,988 votes, the regional vote system takes into account constituencies won by each party within the region. Votes cast for parties which have won constituencies are effectively ‘worth’ less, and, as Labour won seven of the eight constituencies within South Wales East it is almost impossible for the party to win regional seats too.
