History
- History of boundaries
This constituency was created in 1950 when the two-seat constituency of Brighton was split into two.
Boundary changes for the 1997 election moved Peacehaven, a semi-rural area, into the constituency. This added a ward where the Conservatives had been favoured, but Labour gained the seat in its landslide victory. Des Turner held it until 2010, when Simon Kirby of the Conservative Party won.
- History of results
The Labour Party first won Kemptown in 1964 with a majority of seven votes.[n 3] Dennis Hobden[n 4] increased his majority in 1966 but lost the seat in 1970 and another Labour MP was not returned until 1997. The seat has been a national bellwether since 1979.
Liberal Democrats and their two predecessors following national trends formed the third-largest party in the seat, 1950 to 2010 inclusive. The 2010 result for the party can be seen as 0.6% behind "its" highest, at 18.6%, if including its SDP forerunner. The Liberal Democrat vote share collapsed to 3% in 2015 behind UKIP and Green candidates.
The Green Party candidates came fourth in the 2010 election on 5.5%, retaining a deposit.
Simon Kirby held the seat for Conservatives in 2015 on a reduced majority. The 2015 result gave the seat the 10th most marginal majority of the Conservative Party's 331 seats by percentage of majority.[1]
On 26 April 2017 the local Green party stood aside in the seat to avoid splitting the vote between progressive parties on the same night that the local Liberal Democrat party had chosen to not field a candidate against Caroline Lucas in Brighton Pavilion.[2]
