Horsham (/ˈhɔːrʃəm/) is a constituency[a] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament,[b] centred on the eponymous town in West Sussex, its former rural district and part of another rural district. Its Member of Parliament (MP) was Francis Maude between 1997 and 2015; followed by Jeremy Quin, both of the Conservative Party, until 2024 when the seat was won from the Conservative MP Quin by John Milne of the Liberal Democrats, making it the first time since 1876 that a non-Conservative Party candidate won the seat.
