“I hope those people who won those seats for the first time will be able to win again."

Plaid Cymru's Ben Lake held Ceredigion and received praise from Tory rival Amanda Jenner who said it had been a "clean and respectful campaign".

Green Party deputy leader Amelia Womack - who stood for election in Newport West - is disappointed with the result which saw no additions to their single seat of Brighton Pavilion.

Laura McAllister, professor of the Welsh Governance Centre told BBC Radio Wales: “In a very populist electoral climate, such as the one we’re in at the moment, a slogan as simple and clear as [“Get Brexit Done”] is going to get some traction with people who, incidentally, did vote Remain as well as people who voted leave and wanted their vote to be respected and acted upon…

“Any notion that this is an election that has healed some of the huge wounds that exist in our political society is nonsense. We’ve seen a very divisive campaign; we’ve seen a very simplified campaign with pretty cheap slogans."

Ms McAllister said people were "fed up with politics".

"They didn’t want an election and voted for options that allowed them to move forward as much as they can from that.”
