Honourable Friends?: Parliament and the Fight for Change
Author: Caroline Lucas (Y)
Format: Paperback / softback
Number of Pages: 304
In 2010 Caroline Lucas gained access to the country's most exclusive club - Parliament - and became a witness to its absurdities, inefficiencies and uniquely baffling customs. As a woman, as the only Green, and as an MP still trusted by her voters and the wider public, Lucas is an outsider in an elitist member's club fossilized by tradition and self-interest, fighting for change. Here, she describes what it is like to defend the interests of her constituents, to challenge the establishment and to balance the demands of work and family with a radical political mission. Part diary, part reflection, part passionate call-to-arms, this is a unique book by an exceptional politician and activist.
