Britain's first Green MP reveals the inner workings of parliamentary life, why we are so badly governed, and what we can do about it
CAROLINE LUCAS is the MP for Brighton Pavilion. Leader of the Green Party from 2008 to 2012, she is a vice-president of the RSPCA, a CND national council member and a vice-president of the Stop the War Coalition. She has several times been voted Ethical Politician of the Year and was awarded MP of the Year in 2014.
[An] important book... Lucas, as one of the world's bravest and
most principled politicians, is perfectly positioned to share
hard-won wisdom that will help us -Naomi Klein
For all those who want to understand better how Parliament works
and how deficient it is in delivering the radical social and
environmental agenda now so desperately needed, this is the book
for you to read... [Lucas] is an inspiration to us all - Michael
Meacher MP
Caroline Lucas is a fighting, campaigning MP who courageously
stands up for her beliefs and many of the key defining issues of
social, economic and environmental justice, so it is a relief that
she has put down her Parliamentary experiences. These words will
empower and inspire all of us who believe our democracy is under
threat, and desperately want to do something about it -Owen
Jones
This account of Lucas's experiences in Westminster reads like the
field journal of an incredulous anthropologist stumbling on an
unusual tribe... Even more powerfully, it opens the door on a
political past we are condemned to live with and sniffs the stale
air of an institution to which we outsource our democracy -Andrew
Simms, Guardian
