The Sussex resort and retirement town of Hove has always been keen to maintain its genteel distinction from its brasher neighbour, Brighton. This is also becoming increasingly true in politics. Labour has been steadily advancing in Brighton to the point where they have hopes of winning a seat. However, this is not Brighton but, as they say hereabouts, 'Hove, actually' and the Conservatives remain firmly control, with the non-Tory vote split between Labour and the Liberal Democrats.
