Constituency Profile
The constituency takes in the eastern part of Brighton and the semi-rural suburbs and villages stretching out to the east of the seat. At its western end it includes Queen's Park, the centre of Brighton's vibrant gay community, then Kemptown, the council estates of Whitehawk and Moulsecoomb, and then, beyond the racecourse, more affluent and genteel coastal villages like Woodingdean, Saltdean, and the town of Peacehaven.

Famous quotes containing the words constituency and/or profile:
“But also the constituency determines the vote of the representative. He is not only representative, but participant. Like can only be known by like. The reason why he knows about them is, that he is of them; he has just come out of nature, or from being a part of the thing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Nature centres into balls,
And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
