Our tactical voting recommendation in Bridgend:
Vote Labour
Why vote Labour in Bridgend?
Bridgend constituency was gained by the Conservatives in the 2019 general election. The constituency is affected by boundary changes - an area north of the M4 comes in from the previous Ogmore seat - but its political composition remains that of a constituency where the Tories have a slender majority over Labour. It is 27th on Labour’s target list of Conservative seats, making it a must-win for Labour if the Tories are to be displaced from power. Latest polling shows Labour well ahead of the Conservatives in this constituency and no other party regards it as a target seat.
