| Labour held on to Cynon Valley (which includes Aberdare and Mountain Ash) by less than 1,000 votes in the May 1999 Welsh Assembly elections. This may well be a high-water mark for Plaid Cymru in a set of elections whose circumstances favoured them - a Welsh focus; an apparent attempt by Labour's HQ in England to foist a leader on the Welsh party; a midterm date; and a low turnout. As with other valley seats producing deviant results (from the mainstream of South Welsh history, anyway) a return to the norm is likely in 2001. |
