More about Adrian Ramsay

Adrian Ramsay, 28, 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 is part of a large group of Green Party Councillors on Norwich City Council. Since the last elections in 2008, the Green Party has been the second largest party at City Hall, just two seats behind Labour. The Green Party has a fantastic opportunity to become the largest party on Norwich City Council at the 2010 local elections, taking place on Thursday 9th September. 

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 a prominent councillor and 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.

Adrian lives with his fiancee Jenny in the Unthank Road area of Norwich.
