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
