Green party must choose again between election-focused or activist leaders

Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns will be up against Zack Polanski, who is calling for eco-populism' mass movement

• Adrian Ramsay to stand for re-election as Greens co-leader with Ellie Chowns

So here we are again. Much as was the case in 2021, the last time the Greens picked their leaders, members have a choice that could be broadly presented as the more sober, election-focused professionals versus insurgent activists.

On one side of the equation are Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns, both MPs, and in the case of Ramsay, already a co-leader. Four years ago, he and Carla Denyer saw off Amelia Womack and Tamsin Omond with a self-stated mission to change the party and win elections.
