Adrian Ramsay
Adrian Ramsay, 29, is Deputy Leader of the Green Party. In the 2010 General Election he secured the second highest Green vote in the country in the Norwich South constituency, doubling the party's vote share to 15%.
Adrian served as a City Councillor in Norwich for eight years until 2011, when he stood down to focus on his national role. During his time as a councillor Adrian led Norwich Green Party to become one of the largest local Green Parties in the country, forming the main opposition to Labour on the City Council.
Born and brought up in Norwich, Adrian went on to gain a First Class Degree in Politics and Sociology from the University of East Anglia in 2002, where he received an award for his Politics essays. He later gained a Masters' Degree.
Adrian joined the Green Party in 1998 at the age of 16 because he felt the other parties were overlooking environmental issues and were not tackling poverty and animal cruelty. He still feels strongly that the Green Party is the only party with strong and coherent policies on these issues.
As Deputy Leader of the Green Party, Adrian is motivated by the need to make a difference on these issues at a local and national level.
Adrian was first elected as a City Councillor in 2003 at the age of 21, gaining 50% of the vote. He was re-elected in 2007 with 62% in Norwich's Nelson Ward.
He was elected as the Green Party's first Deputy Leader in 2008 and re-elected in 2010.
Adrian lives with his fiancee Jenny in the Unthank Road area of Norwich.
