This is the sticker on my kitchen window. The window needs replacing but they no longer sell that sticker and I can’t bear the thought of it not being there sad.

From Wikipedia
“After being "utterly inspired" by Jonathon Porritt's book Seeing Green, Lucas joined the Green Party in 1986. She noticed that the Green Party office was in Clapham, where she was living at the time, so thought: "Right! I'm going there now, I'm just going to dedicate the rest of my life to this party".[13] Soon afterwards she became the party's National Press Officer (1987–1989) and Co-Chair (1989–1990).[16]”.
I found Jonathan Porritt inspirational, too. Greenpeace were so ahead of their time

Caroline Lucas was a dedicated leader who knew what the name Green Party represented. I think everyone has a great deal of respect for her.

The Green Party now has lost its way completely; it has become a protest group, not a political party.

Caroline Lucas was just stunning as party leader. Polanski is not & I agree he does see himself as in charge. I'm sticking with Labour.

Caroline Lucas was the kind of politician Zac Polanski could only hope to be.
He has the audacity to present his own opinions as the political will of the party and its voters. I am a voter who might have voted Green but not now.

I think it's evident to see that the party has long since departed the one Caroline Lucas steered. With Zac Polanski at the helm its been turned into an anti semitic rabble barely disguising the nasty wolf lurking within the sheep's clothing. Good riddance to it, hope it crashes and burns.

I absolutely revere Caroline Lucas. She must be one of the most respected politicians of recent years.

What do posters think?

The only Green that I like is being got at by Green Members who want to get rid of her from the PartyđŸ˜€
Polanski has now created a monster.
