Huge support for Labour in Brighton and Hove

This chart shows votes at May's General Election across all three Brighton and Hove constituencies. Although the Labour MPs lost their seats, all the results were close, and combined across the city Labour only won 500 fewer votes than the Conservatives.

Membership of Labour has soared following the General Election, and to date over 200 people have joined the Labour party in Brighton Pavilion alone. Activism is growing, as more and more people realise that something must be done to show opposition to the actions of the Tory Lib-Dem government.
