| A big swing to Labour last time has given them a big majority to defend this time - the Tories do not look like taking Brighton Pavilion back for a while yet. |

| It used to be that Kemptown was more Labour-leaning than Pavilion; now, with redistribution, it's the other way around. (And Cabinet guy Derek Spencer suffered what was surely one of 1997's top five Tory-member pummelings.) Now as a novelty bid to grab Brighton's nouveau rainbow demographic, the Conservatives are running an openly gay candidate, not a bad idea--but under the present circumstances, he's cannon fodder. Portillo'll be as openly queer as they elect in 2001. |
