  Guardian | Brighton may elect first Green MP
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.

Wantage is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The constituency covers the south-west of Oxfordshire, largely corresponding to the Vale of White Horse local government district, with the exception of twelve wards in the north east (comprising the town of Abingdon and the Oxford suburbs of North Hinksey (Botley) and Cumnor), which lie in the Oxford West and Abingdon constituency.
With an electorate of barely 8000, Wantage is one of the smallest towns to hold sole ownership of a parliamentary constituency name and in fact the largest town in the constituency is Didcot, which lies in the neighbouring South Oxfordshire local authority district, as does Wallingford, another significant centre of population for the division.

The Royal Pavilion is a palace built in Brighton, East Sussex, in the 19th Century as a seaside retreat for the then Prince Regent.

Being remote from the Royal Court in London, the Pavilion was also a discreet location for the Prince to enjoy liaisons with his first wife, Mrs Fitzherbert, his marriage to whom was illegal due to her Catholic religion.
