A Green win in a Brighton-centred seat is just about plausible in 2009 (though clearly not the most probable outcome, Though that presumes a Brighton and Hove based seat would have come out in the boundaries. The Brighton and Hove split continued in what would have been the 1999 boundaries and may well have persisted in later ones, especially given the need to start with Kent and the awkward boundaries in West Sussex. (Sorry, but my best friend lives in Hove Actually and the tendency of people to call it all Brighton is...) Maybe not through targetting but the broader growth of Euroscepticism was such that they could well have won the right Kent or eastern seat when a European election coincided with heightened Eurosceptic outrage. |

Fair enough on both points. Though a UKIP win would have been entirely by accident. |

Yes and it would be interesting to see how long the MEP stayed in the party.
