==History==
Brighton was first contested at the 1846 general election, making it the fifth-oldest still-existing electorate in the country. It has been held by a non-conservative party for just nine of its 175 years in existence. It has been one of the safest seats for the Liberal Party and its predecessors, having represented the seat continuously since the 1926 election. The Social Democratic Party held Brighton for a single term between 1923 and 1926, and have usually run dead since, although it came within 2 percent of winning it in the 1970 election landslide. Before the Social Democrats' brief hold on the seat, the last time it was held by a non-conservative party was from 1863 to 1865, when it was held by the British Mariana Liberal Party.
Brighton was held for 41 years between 1954 and 1995 by Christopher Gallagher, the second-longest serving MP in Enderronian history; he had earlier served as the MP for Newborough from 1946 to 1954, for a total service of 49 years.
