The ConLib Queen's Speech, setting out the coalition's legislative programme for government looks pale and unambitious compared to the version Green Party leader and MP Caroline Lucas has offered to Channel 4 News.

The Liberal Democrats have been criticised by Green Party politicians and activists for the terms on which they have agreed a coalition deal with the Conservative Party.

Any party arrangement for governing Britain must involve a referendum on PR, and Nick Clegg should not be seduced by the trappings of power, says new Green MP Caroline Lucas.

A large number of people in Britain actually support Green Party policies without necessarily recognising it, despite an unfair voting system that hampers small parties.
