A message from Caroline Lucas

Our first Green MP and former Leader of the Party

  • "I'm supporting Adrian and Ellie as they have experience as Green Party Councillors and MPs - roles which I believe are crucial as a basis of a leadership role of a political party. Their sensible politics will unite, grow and strengthen the party, which is just what is needed leading up to the UK's next general elections and as we focus on the environmental and social justice policies that win us hearts and votes."

    Cllr Amanda Onwuemene, Chair of Global Majority Greens, GPEW Spokesperson for Policing & Domestic Safety

  • “Ellie ran an incredible campaign in last year’s General Election to win North Herefordshire, a supposedly unwinnable seat. She’s since proved herself to be a skilful parliamentarian - persuasive and persistent, charismatic and credible. Adrian has a great ability to connect with the electorate, born of over two decades of experience in both local and now national politics. I’m confident that a Green Party led by these two elected Green MPs, who have both shown winning ways and bravery on the benches, will go from strength to strength in the coming years.”

    Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall, Author and Campaigner

  • "Ellie and Adrian are compassionate, collaborative leaders, and trusted Green voices in Parliament and the media. With their skills and experience, I’m confident the Green Party can build on recent electoral success and attract support from across the political spectrum to elect even more Green MPs and councillors."

    Cllr Catherine Braun, Stroud District, Leader of the Green Group

  • "In exceptionally challenging times, the Green Party needs exceptional leadership, which is why I’m so pleased to endorse Adrian and Ellie, as the next co-leaders of the Party. They are both remarkable individuals in their own right and have grown into formidable spokespeople for the Party over the last few years, with a focus on the issues that really matter for the Party: climate, fair taxation, nature, international justice, and an end to the genocide in Gaza. Together, they will make a truly formidable team!"

    Jonathon Porritt, Author and Campaigner

  • "Our party has a tremendous opportunity in the years ahead - to put the planet and its people at the heart of the country's political agenda. We have made significant progress over the last few years: more councillors, more councils where we are leading - and we want that to continue by appealing to the many voters who support our policies. Ellie and Adrian have a proven track record of winning and representing communities. A strong leadership team to take the party forward."

    Cllr Andy Mellen, Mid Suffolk District Council Leader

  • "I've been so inspired by both Ellie and Adrian’s enthusiasm, professionalism, how much they have already achieved in the short time they have been Green MP’s. They are both fantastic ambassadors for the Green Party, and I’d be proud to see them as our co-leaders."

    Cllr Chloe Turner, Committee Chair, Stroud District Council


  • "As a leader of a major city, it has become increasingly clear to me how important it is to have elected Greens in the room when decisions are made. I am supporting Ellie and Adrian because they clearly understand the importance of winning elections to deliver on our Green ambitions."

    Cllr Tony Dyer, Leader of Bristol City Council

  • "As a councillor in a Labour heartland, I know Ellie and Adrian have what it takes to bring the party's message to working class voters. As members of parliament they are in a prime position to take on Keir Starmer and his failing Government head on! As a progressive party I also think it’s imperative we have a high profile woman in our leadership team."

    Cllr Graham Golding, Chair of Knowsley Green Party

  • "Our party needs to get serious about power. Ellie and Adrian understand what power is about. Not influence, not campaigning, but real power. That's our ambition and our goal as a political party and that's why I'm supporting Ellie and Adrian to be our next leadership team."

    Molly Scott Cato, former MEP, External Comms Coordinator, GPEX

  • "Ellie and Adrian have the profile, platform and professionalism to make sure the Green message hits home to as many voters as possible before the next general election! We have to build a broad coalition of voters, Ellie and Adrian have a proven track record of winning people over at the ballot box, not just on Twitter!"

    Cllr Kai Taylor, Leader of Green Group on Knowsley Council, former national elections coordinator

  • "I'm supporting Adrian and Ellie because we need credible experienced leaders who have experience of appealing to progressive voters that Labour has abandoned, but also to the vast swathe of more rural, often ex-Conservative voters who aren’t seeing choices other than the LibDems or Reform. We have to slot ourselves into that space or Nigel Farage will."

    Cllr Emily O’Brien, Cabinet member, Lewes District Council

  • "Ellie and Adrian will make a great leadership team for the Green Party. As two prominent parliamentarians they speak truth to power on a daily basis. They have been directly elected as MPs by their constituencies, against the odds. This gives them the legitimacy and authority to speak for the Green Party at a national level. Ellie and Adrian are both people we can unite behind. They will broaden the appeal of the Greens and provide the accessible alternative to Reform UK."

    Cllr Andrew Cooper

  • "I am thrilled to support Ellie and Adrian for leadership of the Green Party. I trust them to bring the grounded and clear leadership the Party needs."

    Cllr Johnny Denis, Cabinet member, Lewes District Council, Chair of Association of Green Councillors

  • "It’s not enough for our leaders to appeal to the Green bubble. If we are going to win elections, they have to appeal to teachers, plasterers, drivers and nurses: the voting public. That’s why I’m backing Ellie and Adrian. They are proven to be electable, and can lead the Green Party to the next level."

    Mark Redding, Chair of West Midlands Green Party

  • "Ellie and Adrian are a talented pairing of two very experienced Greens. In Parliament and in their constituencies they show total commitment and an ability to deliver on promises."

    Jenny Jones, Green Party Peer, House of Lords


  • "This is the team to grow the Green party sustainably and successfully. Inspiring, organised, professional co-leadership, based in parliament, ambitious to build on our recent local and national progress."

    Cllr Lucy Galvin, Deputy Leader, Norwich City Council Green group

  • "I’ve known Adrian Ramsay since the beginning of his political life. He is an absolutely outstanding spokesman who has been tested at the very highest levels with a superb record as an organisational leader, one who has played a central role in bringing Greens from virtually nothing to where we are now, across East Anglia and now the whole country. The hard times that are coming are going to require both steel and inspiration. Adrian and Ellie can deliver these in spades."

    Emeritus Prof. Rupert Read, author ‘Why climate breakdown matters’

  • "I am pleased to support Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns for Co-Leadership of the Green Party: because of their principled, effective leadership on climate and justice."

    Hugh Knowles, Former CEO of Friends of the Earth

  • "Ellie and Adrian, are hard-working experienced and fearless MPs, environmental and social justice champions. They’re formidable leaders who unite integrity and grit."

    Mags Lewis, Disability spokesperson for the Green Party

  • "Ellie and Adrian have the honesty and integrity so desperately needed in politics today. They have the ability to articulate our policies and principles in a way which resonates with the voting public."

    Ann Were, former Councillor and former General Secretary of the Wales Green Party

  • "I'm delighted that Ellie and Adrian are standing to be our Co-leaders. As two of our MPs their political experience is vital; they have a deep understanding of Green issues, and their communication skills are second to none."

    Judy Maciejowska, West Devon Green Party

  • "I’m supporting Ellie and Adrian because they have the experience, integrity and judgement that we need to lead the Green Party. Their down to earth approach is attractive to voters, and their energy and expertise can gather wide support from across the Party. Their vision and determination are just what we need as the political climate shifts around us."

    Helen Geake

  • "Rather than being populist performers, Ellie and Adrian are passionate, pragmatic parliamentarians with their feet on the ground and their fingers firmly in the backs of this Labour Government. Their partnership is what our party needs in order to grow in number and influence."

    Cllr Natalie McVey, Malvern Hills District Council and Worcestershire County Council

  • "Ellie and Adrian both won 'unwinnable' seats for the Green Party and as co-leaders could win many more. By reaching out to a broad range of voters with integrity, clarity and conviction, they could put the Greens into a pivotal position after the next election. With a strong group of MPs behind them, they’d have the experience, credibility and strategic judgement to win the transformational change we all want to see."

    Tom Scott, Coordinator, Cornwall Green Party

  • "Ellie and Adrian have shown they can reach voters who never voted Green before - and win! Working together, they’ve got the experience, ambition and passion to bring our message to a really wide range of people. To take our party to the next level we need a team who knows how to win seats, and also how to win hearts and minds."

    Councillor Geraldine Coggins, Trafford Council

  • "I’m supporting Ellie and Adrian because we need Green Party leaders that have proven they can win seats at the highest levels of government."

    Maciej Pawlik, Ealing Green Party

  • "I strongly believe that the leadership of the party has to come from within our team of MPs. They remind people on a daily basis that Greens are winning power at the highest level, and exercising it for the public good. Ellie and Adrian make a formidable team. And both are committed to transformational change in how the Party operates - bringing the party together, taking on the hard right, and championing social and environmental justice. This is a time for the energy and experience that Ellie and Adrian can offer."

    Caroline Lucas, former MP

  • "I've been a Green Party member for nearly 20 years. I'm a city and county councillor. I'm a past Mayor of Worcester and currently Chair of Worcestershire County Council. I'm endorsing Ellie and Adrian because I know they know that preaching to the choir is not enough. To win elections we need people who don't normally support us to vote for us. Ellie and Adrian understand this."

    Cllr Louis Stephen, Chair of Worcestershire County Council

  • "Ellie and Adrian have a long track record as campaigners who have spent years carefully building towards, and achieving, success. I respect and admire the hard work and determination that they have shown to get elected. We can all learn from their success and win more MPs at the next General Election."

    Cllr Sue Lee-Richards, Kirklees Council

  • "Supporting you all the way, Ellie and Adrian. We need our leaders to be voices in parliament speaking out for the environment and social justice, and for transparency and openness in politics. I believe you will be excellent spokespeople for the GPEW membership."

    Elizabeth Mansfield, Lewes District GP Member and Zanes Law campaigner

  • "Ellie and Adrian are proven leaders. Their co-leadership model best reflects Green values, brings vital media access, and offers a radical yet balanced, inclusive foreign policy that speaks to all communities."

    David Zell, Former Co-Chair of Jewish Greens

  • "I’m pleased to be supporting Ellie and Adrian.They both have the energy and drive that we need in our Leaders."

    Cllr Ian Davison, Leader, Warwick District Council

  • "Ellie and Adrian offer principled, collaborative leadership—rooted in experience, guided by vision and acumen, and grounded in integrity—bringing the strategic depth and steady leadership our times require to unite and advance the Party."

    Cllr Paul Keene, Lewes District Council

  • "Ellie and Adrian have shown they can reach voters who never voted Green before - and win!

    Cllr Geraldine Coggins, Trafford Green Party

  • "This is a moment of real political opportunity — and we have to act urgently and wisely. Ellie and Adrian are the leaders we need in Westminster: experienced, strategic, and deeply rooted in our values. They know how to win — and how to use their roles in Parliament to deliver lasting change for our party and the country."

    Cllr Zoe Nicholson, Leader, Lewes District Council

  • "The work that Ellie and Adrian have done to progress the Green Party speaks for itself, their focused hard work over the years, has built the platform which will form the Launch Pad for the next general election. They have both contributed to a set of policies upon which we can offer the electorate hope and certainty that the Greens will truly deliver a fairer, sustainable and cohesive society in the future."

    Cllr Jim Martin, Leader, Folkestone and Hythe District Council

    Cllr Deborah Saw, Deputy Leader, Babergh District Council

    Cllr Andree Frieze, Leader of the Opposition, Richmond Council

  • "I’m supporting Ellie and Adrian because they offer radical politics, inclusiveness and experience of winning. The current strategy, based on deeply rooted community activism, is working. If we can win in North Herefordshire and Suffolk, we can win everywhere. Keep it rolling."

    Cllr Richard Winch, Deputy Leader, Mid Suffolk District Councillor

  • "At a time when Farage and Reform peddle fear, and Labour chases headlines over principles, Ellie and Adrian offer something different: courage, clarity, and real Green leadership. They get what change takes — because they’re making green policies mainstream."
