Cardiff Central embraces poor inner-city areas and the student and university quarter, as well as more affluent suburban areas, which include modern private family estates. Local authority housing is quite limited. Recent election have seen some quite close fights, with the Liberal Democrats as well as the two main parties making an impression. Labour hold the seat, but with a minority of the total vote. In a bad year for Labour this may well be a seat they could lose, but they must expect to hold in 1997.
