So we are here again. As is the case in 2021, the Greens last time they chose leaders, members could choose as a choice for more sober, election-centric professionals with rebellious activists.

On one side of the equation are Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns, including members of Congress, who are also Ramsay, who are already co-leaders. Four years ago, he and Carla Denyer left Amelia Womack and Tamsin Omond by changing the party with their self-statemental mission and winning the election.

Although Womack was hardly an outsider--she had been deputy leader for seven years by then--she ran with Omond, a climate activist who was a co-founded extinction rebellion whose candidacy was seen as a campaigner for young greens, and someone interested in direct activism.

Party members in England and Wales will vote in August in this summer, with Ramsey and Chows fighting Zack Polanski, who took over as deputy leader from Womack in 2022 and hopes to turn the green into what he calls the “ecological community” mass movement.

As a member of the London Parliament and hope to become a member of MP, Polansky is not opposed to the election line. But his point is that the Greens can and should do more to fit the appeal of British reform, which is about three times as attractive as the Greens and about four times that of members.

Ramsay and Chowns are expected to be favorites, and there is a particularly powerful card: they can point to the approach the outgoing leadership team has taken and think that works.

When they took over from Siân Berry and Jonathan Bartley, Ramsay and Denyer promised to establish a Green Party’s MP base to expand the party’s single parliamentary seat.

In 2023, there was a more specific commitment to win in four specific Westminster constituencies, a goal of many observers and some of the Greens at the time, which was ambitious at the time. But nine months later, in the general election, it happened.

Two of the wins were green-friendly, labor-oriented seats – Berry successfully took over the Brighton Pavilion of the outgoing Caroline Lucas, and since 2015, Bristol MP Denyer removed the labor front desk Thangam Debbonaire from Bristol Central.

In rural and fundamentally conservative areas, Ramsey and Chow's victory is still more noteworthy. Ramsey won the newly formed Warwick Valley constituency on the Norfolk-Siufak border, while the chows overturned nearly 25,000 majority in the Tory constituency in North Herefordshire.

So the couple can show themselves to the green voters, a model of the party’s long-term mission of establishing Westminster’s post through local governments, both serving as MPs in the areas they eventually won.

This approach is spreading more widely, with the Greens with more than 850 members of more than 180 local authorities and ranked second in 40 parliamentary seats last year.

Polansky’s rebuttal is not to say that this approach is wrong, but should be aligned with less cautious policies and demonstrations, which will allow green messages to be delivered to potential support voters and support in a more pressing way.

Polanski was trained as an actor and was happy to take over as a hostile radio host, arguably a more natural media performer than Ramsay or Chowns. In terms of debiting for some members, it would be a policy approach that could draw attention, such as the suggestion that Britain should withdraw from “outdated” NATO last week.

Which version will win? In some ways, it is difficult to predict, especially since this is the first four-year leadership election for a political party that is usually held every two years. When Berry and Bartley broke their term halfway through, Ramsey and Daniel were initially given three years before the election was postponed again.

Then there is the size of the party - yes, smaller than the reform, but now it's over 60,000. In 2021, Ramsay and Denyer won easily with just 5,000 first-round votes, about 20%. If one side or the other side can motivate members, then anything can happen.
