The West Sussex Bognor Regis and Littlehampton Conservatives were first created back in 1997 and the only MP so far has been the Conservative MP Nick Gibb. He has had continued success up until to this year. However, he has now retired and creates a space for a new MP this year. The Conservatives have proposed Ali(son) Griffiths who won the seat and Ali is the new MP!. The Labour vote has been the largest alternative and the current proposal was Clare Walsh who was very significant this session. She states on her website I’ve been building relationships with local constituencies, campaigning in Worthing West with Beccy Cooper, Crawley with Peter Lamb and Portsmouth with Stephen Morgan and Amanda Martin.
