| | Brighton may elect first Green MP | The Guardian | Guardian Unlimited |
 | | All six councillors are based in wards in the Brighton Pavilion constituency where the Green candidate, Keith Taylor, secured 9.3% of the vote in the last general election - the highest polled by the Greens throughout Britain. |
 | | He argues that the share of the vote in Brighton Pavilion is now nearer to 27% - based on a comparison with the way votes were cast in the 1999 European elections, when the results of the three constituencies were published separately and Brighton Pavilion secured 19%. |
 | | Mr Lepper, the first Labour MP to be returned to Brighton Pavilion in the 1997 landslide, insists he is relaxed about the Green threat and that the real opposition are the Tories, over whom he has a 9,600 majority. |
