European elections 2019: These are all the candidates in Wales

These are the people standing to become  Wales' next Members of the European Parliament.

Wales has four MEPs, who are chosen by a system of proportional representation. Two of the current MEPs, Tory Kay Swinburne and Labour's Derek Vaughan, are not standing again. Nathan Gill  (now for the Brexit Party) and Plaid's Jill Evans are both standing again.

The parties have to list their candidates in order, meaning that if they get one seat it goes to their top name on the list; if they get two then the top two people on the list get a seat.

The European elections in England, Scotland and Wales use a system of proportional representation called the d'Hondt system. It is explained here.

The latest polls suggest that the Brexit Party will win two seats, Plaid one and Labour one.

These are all the candidates for each party
