MEP Caroline Lucas is top of the list of Green Party candidates to contest her seat for the second time.

Dr Lucas, who was elected in 1999, received 85 per cent of local party members' votes for candidates in the 2004 European Parliament elections.

She said: "I have worked hard to place the Green alternative on the European agenda."

Among the other candidates on the Green Party's South East regional list for the elections are Oxford city councillor Dr Mike Woodin.
