Apr 2026

A safe LD seat, won with 49% of the vote in 2024. Covers Chichester, Bognor Regis and Selsey. Population 108,687, notably older (median age 47 vs 41 nationally). Recorded crime is 38% below the national average.

Chichester's MP has been one of the more outspoken Liberal Democrats on assisted dying, twice breaking with her party on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill -- voting against its Third Reading in June 2025 and backing a wording amendment her party opposed. Her stance is notably firmer than the Lib Dem average on this issue. Beyond assisted dying, she has been active on local fronts: launching a petition to reopen a custody centre over policing concerns, championing the University of Chichester's SEND teacher training approach in Parliament (securing interest from the Education Secretary), and calling for urgent business rates reform.

At 70% voting participation, Brown-Fuller is somewhat below the Commons average but has racked up 349 contributions across 225 debates since 2024 -- a substantial speech record for a first-term MP. She votes with the Liberal Democrats 99.4% of the time on non-assisted-dying matters. Her speeches concentrate on economy and jobs, social care, local government, and health. Her stance data shows she is markedly more opposed to benefit cuts than the Lib Dem average (+40 percentage points), consistently backs Lords scrutiny (96%) and parliamentary oversight (95%), and voted repeatedly to defend Lords amendments to the Pension Schemes Bill and Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill against government attempts to overturn them. She holds no select committee seat.
