Greens take first Commons seat


Well done to Caroline Lucas leader of the UK Green Party who won the party's first seat in the House of Commons yesterday. She defeated the Labour incumbent in Brighton Pavilion. Ms Lucas won 16,238 votes as compared with 14,986 for Labour and 12,275 for the Conservatives. The 1,252-vote majority overturned a Labour majority of 5,030 at the 2005 election.

  1. You congratulate her now, but you would have had the knives out if she had supported a Labour-Libdem-SNP-Plaid-SDLP coalition.
