First ever Green MP

In the May 2010 election Britain elected it's first ever Green Party MP.

This honour went to Caroline Lucas of the Green Party, who won the parliamentary seat for one of the Brighton constituencies.

It will be interesting to see how much one person will be able to push the green agenda which has taken something of a back seat for the other parties with the economic crisis of late.

Hopefully it will be possible to have some influence and to ensure that we don't forget about how important issues such as climate change and global warming are going to be for the future of the planet.
