History
Arundel and South Downs has been a Conservative Party stronghold. The constituency shot to prominence in the run-up to the
2005 general election due to the central deselection of its sitting Conservative member,
Howard Flight, who had represented the constituency since its inception in the
1997 general election. Anne Marie Morris,
Laura Sandys and Nick Herbert put themselves forward for nomination as replacement candidates. The chosen candidate,
Nick Herbert, won the seat at the election.

Prior to the 1997 election, this constituency had been split between other constituencies. Between 1983 and 1997, the town of Arundel had been contained within the
Arundel seat, which also included the towns of
Bognor Regis and
Littlehampton, and the area of the South Downs had been within the
Horsham seat.
Between 1974 and 1983, much of the South Downs area was contained in the
Shoreham seat, with the town of Arundel remaining in the Arundel seat.
Prior to 1974, the seat was largely incorporated into the
Arundel and Shoreham seat.
