Caroline Lucas – Smart Strategy

A brief note on Caroline Lucas, Green MP for Brighton Pavilion.

The baggage she brings with her into Parliament;

• 1 out of 650 MPs, sole Parliamentarian for the Greens – easiest thing to disappear into nothingness
• Seen as a single-issue politician by the media, fellow MPs, and most of the public

What she’s now doing;

• Chosen issues to focus on, not trying to obstruct every injustice and ending up being wholly ineffective
• Driving the debate on Parliamentary reform – building allies across the political spectrum and focusing on winnable changes
• Spotting populist issues, such as the Government plans to sell off our national forests, and becoming a champion in the media

Smart lady.
