Caroline Lucas: You ask the questions
Aside from in Brighton, a vote for your party is a wasted vote. Which of the three main parties is most credible on green issues (I don't live in Brighton I'm afraid)? Fiona Tugg, Exeter
A Green vote outside Brighton isn't a wasted vote. The party stands a good chance of electing our first MPs in Norwich and Lewisham, where deputy leader Adrian Ramsay and London Assembly chair Darren Johnson respectively are standing, and we look set to do well in places like Cambridge too, where former Director of Friends of the Earth, Tony Juniper, is running a great campaign. A strong result for us at the election will send a clear message to the three Westminster parties that people agree with our fresh political approach. Not one of the red, yellow or blue parties could be called credible on green issues. And none of them match our commitment to creating more jobs, protecting public services, cutting carbon emissions and addressing inequality.
