Government
The region is governed by the Vale of Glamorgan Council which was controlled by the Conservative Party until May 2012. The Vale of Glamorgan parliamentary and assembly constituencies (which do not include Penarth and Sully which are in the constituency of Cardiff South and Penarth) sway between Labour control and Conservative Party control in both the National Assembly for Wales and in Westminster. This is supposedly because of the Labour supporters in the east of the constituency and in the town of Barry and then the Tory supporters in the west due to a large farming population.
