Dumb question Al, but why does Labor do so poorly in Brighton? I thought it was a very left-wing kind of place?

Well, ya, but Brighton Kemptown and Hove voted for the conservatives. Is this a sort of "disunion of the left" type deal due to vote-splitting?

Also, why did the Greens get prominent down there and not the LibDems.

Regarding Wales, I remember Cameron at PM questioning time, noting that the Wales had a lot of underpopulated constituencies (almost all Labor strongholds that have seen a population drain as the coal mines shut down), and they needed to be culled for "fairness" sake. Were they, or did the Lib Dems just say no, or did Cameron decide to back off, or what?

In any case, the absurdly underpopulated constituencies of Britain need to be ameliorated at least to some degree--perhaps the only thing I'd ever agree with Cameron on, though 5% deviation is still insanely high.
