Like most Mancunians, Boudicca did not vote at the local elections this year. In fact, the 50-year-old says she's only ever voted on three occasions in her life.
But in the part of Wythenshawe where she lives, every vote matters. The Greens beat Labour by just 146 votes in Woodhouse Park earlier this month, gaining a third seat in the council ward by the narrowest margin in Manchester.
Over the last three years, the ruling party at the town hall has been wiped out from the south Manchester ward which is now the only place in the city without a single Labour councillor. Across the country, the Green Party made record gains in the local elections on May 4, winning hundreds of council seats.
