A NEW poll shows six Conservative MPs could lose their Sussex seats if a General Election is held.

The poll, commissioned by pro-EU group Best For Britain, shows the Brexit Party eating up a huge portion of the Tory vote.

The party could win seats in Bognor, East Worthing, and West Worthing if polls are correct, knocking out three veteran Tories.

Nick Gibb, Tim Loughton, and Sir Peter Bottomley have all held their seats for more than 20 years but are projected to lose their seats to the Brexit Party.

The poll of some 15,000 voters is the biggest of its kind so far, giving a favourable result for Nigel Farage’s party.

Nationally it is set to win a remarkable 135 seats, far behind Labour’s projected 251 but three more than the Conservatives.

The Brexit Party is set to finish second in Arundel, Chichester, Horsham, Bexhill, Wealden, and Eastbourne, slashing Conservative vote shares in what have for years been rural Tory strongholds.

The general trend in the rural Sussex seats shows most Conservatives staying afloat but sizable amounts of votes.

For example, Arundel MP Nick Herbert is projected to have his vote share halved to 30 per cent, with the Brexit Party snapping up 26 per cent.

But Brighton’s MPs would remain the same in the event of a General Election.

Green MP Caroline Lucas is polling at a comfortable 50 per cent in Brighton Pavilion.

Labour’s Peter Kyle and Lloyd Russell-Moyle could see their vote shares cut by over 20 per cent in Hove and Brighton Kemptown respectively as the Lib Dems make gains.

Conservative MP Maria Caulfield would lose her Lewes seat to the resurgent Liberal Democrats.

Ms Caulfield said she hoped her party could salvage an election result by ensuring the UK left the EU by October.

She said: “If we deliver Brexit by the end of October and those voters return then the seat of Lewes would stay as a Conservative seat.

“With the Brexit party winning here in the European elections the clear message from voters is ‘Get on and deliver Brexit’.”

Meanwhile Labour are set to take Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd’s seat in Hastings in what could be a vital win for Jeremy Corbyn’s party.

They are also projected to squeak into Conservative Henry Smith’s seat in Crawley by less than one per cent of the vote thanks to a Brexit Party surge eating away his support.

Mr Gibb, Mr Loughton, Mr Bottomley, and Ms Rudd were all contacted for comment but did not respond in time for publication.
