Can Caroline Lucas change British politics for ever?

I can see your point: Greens are having some influence in local councils around my parts, without necessarily being part of the ruling party/coalition.

Congratulations Caroline!

A lone voice in the wilderness but at least she's singing our song.

What a winner! I was wrong and I am sorry. I am, if you like, a penitent sinner.

One down, just another 649 to go. Well done Caroline.

It was a stunning result, especially with labour coming second in a seat the tories were originally hoping to win. That can only mean that some people actually voted labour because they thought labour had a better chance of stopping the tories than Caroline Lucas did!

It won't change a damned thing.

But fair play and good luck to her. I wish her the very best in her frustration.
