General Election
At the 2010 general election, Caroline Lucas won the constituency of Brighton Pavilion.
In 2005, Greens scored a record 22% of the vote in Brighton. In 2007, the Green Party beat all the other parties in the constituency to win 30% of the vote and first place, and at the same time doubled our number of councillors on Brighton and Hove City Council.

In Norwich South, our candidate was Adrian Ramsay, leader at the time of the largest group of Green Councillors in the UK on Norwich City Council.
In both 2007 and 2008, the Greens received more votes than any other party in the local elections. More about Norwich Greens and their ongoing campaigns: http://www.norwichgreenparty.org/
In Lewisham Deptford, London Assembly Member and Lewisham Councillor Darren Johnson was our candidate for the next general election. In 2005, this was our second highest result in the General Election, when Darren gained 11% of the vote. Between then and the general election, we gained five more councillors in the area.
