The Vale of Clwyd ({{lang-cy|Dyffryn Clwyd}}) is a constituency of the House of Commons of the UK Parliament created in 1997 and represented since 2017 by Chris Ruane of the Labour Party. As with all extant seats its electorate elect one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system at least every five years.

The Vale of Clwyd Welsh Assembly constituency was created with the same boundaries in 1999.

The seat is one of five won (held or gained) by a Labour candidate in 2017 from a total of seven covering its county. Ruane's 2017 win was one of 30 net gains of the Labour Party. The seat has been considered relative to others a very marginal seat, as well as a swing seat, since 2005 as its winner's majority has not exceeded 6.1% of the vote since the 14.4% majority won in 2005 and the seat has changed hands twice since that year.

Boundaries

1997-2010: The Borough of Rhuddlan, the District of Glyndwr wards of Denbigh Central, Denbigh Lower, Denbigh Upper, Henllan, and Llandyrnog, and the Borough of Colwyn ward of Trefnant.

2010-present: The Denbighshire County electoral divisions of Bodelwyddan, Denbigh Central, Denbigh Lower, Denbigh Upper/Henllan, Dyserth, Llandyrnog, Prestatyn Central, Prestatyn East, Prestatyn Meliden, Prestatyn North, Prestatyn South West, Rhuddlan, Rhyl East, Rhyl South, Rhyl South East, Rhyl South West, Rhyl West, St Asaph East, St Asaph West, Trefnant, and Tremeirchion.

The constituency was created in 1997 from the seats of Clwyd North West, Clwyd South West and Delyn. It is in the north of Wales containing the seaside town of Prestatyn and its coastal neighbor Rhyl which is overlooked by the community of Rhuddlan. It also contains the inland towns of Denbigh, St Asaph, Bodelwyddan, Trefnant and Tremeirchion.

Political history

The seat was won by the Labour candidate in 1997, 2001, 2005 and on a marginal majority in 2010. The seat was next won by the Conservative candidate standing in 2015. The 2015 result gave the seat the 4th most marginal majority of the Conservative Party's 331 seats by percentage of majority.[2] However Labour regained the seat in the 2017 general election with more than half the eligible votes, the first Labour gain from Conservative on the night.
