In Conversation With... Caroline Lucas, Stand 3, Edinburgh Festival Fringe

One interviewer, one guest, one audience.  Good questions, even better answers.  Lucas was by far the best MP in the last Westminster parliament, and this hour reminded us why.  Very strong and clear on the subjects of democracy, the need for 'the left' to become much better communicators (perhaps the only thing they can take from the vile Niggle Fuhrage...) and learn to tell a more compelling 'story'.  She's demonstrated a clear grasp of the bigger picture, both ecxologically, as you'd expect, and politically (as you'd also expect).  Joined up thinking and, more importantly, a deep sense of humanity.  Very critical of a media that is allowed to spread disinformation (the Daily Fail came in for particular criticism) and how to cobat that.

Always interesting, always thought provoking.  Almost always right.  A remider of what an asset Lucas is and has been to UK public life.
