<p>The baggage she brings with her into Parliament;</p>
<ul>
<li>1 out of 650 MPs, sole Parliamentarian for the Greens &#8211; easiest thing to disappear into nothingness</li>
<li>Seen as a single-issue politician by the media, fellow MPs, and most of the public</li>
</ul>
<p>What she&#8217;s now doing;</p>
<ul>
<li>Chosen issues to focus on, not trying to obstruct every injustice and ending up being wholly ineffective</li>
<li><a href="http://www.politicshome.com/uk/article/21715/caroline_lucas_we_need_to_move_westminster_into_the_21st_century.html">Driving the debate</a> on Parliamentary reform &#8211; building allies across the political spectrum and focusing on winnable changes</li>
<li>Spotting populist issues, such as the Government plans to sell off our national forests, and <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/feb/04/forestry-wrong-politics">becoming a champion</a> in the media</li>
</ul>
