New marginal seats in Brighton and Hove – but is Brexit to blame?
Brighton and Hove’ Conservatives have blamed Brexit for turning their safe seats into marginals at last week’s elections.
Tory candidates clung on by just a handful of votes in Hangleton and Woodingdean, while Withdean went completely Green and an independent won a shock victory by getting more votes than anyone in Rottingdean.
Following the results, candidates were quick to blame the Brexit effect for keeping their base at home.
