Swansea, the second city of Wales, has been a great industrial centre since the 18th century. It possesses two parliamentary constituencies, the easternmost of which contains the city's working-class and industrial heartland - council estates, docks, steel tinplate and copper works. It comes as no surprise that this is a Labour bastion - there are no Tories on Swansea city council. Swansea East's MP, Donald Anderson, is almost unopposed, with only token opposition from the Conservatives, the Lib Dems and Plaid Cymru.
