Alexander worked as the co-ordinator of the National Group on Homeworking.[1] From 1995 until 1997, she served as Principal Speaker of the Green Party of England and Wales, alongside David Taylor. She called for the party to fill the "space left by the new-look Labour Party".[2]

She also appeared on the Green Party in Northern Ireland's party list for Fermanagh and South Tyrone at the Northern Ireland Forum election, which took 208 votes.
