Adrian Ramsey has taken a step closer to being the first Green MP with the size of the Green group on Norwich council overtaking the Lib Dems as the official opposition. As one of our youngest councillors and leader of the group, Adrian is distinguished at Green Party conference as the clean shaven young man in a dark suit - The local Norwich had one headline when he was selected, referring to his bid for Charles Clarke's seat "MP or PM?"

The political make-up of Norwich City Council is now:

Labour: 15 seats.
Green Party: 13 seats
LibDems: 6 seats
Conservatives: 5 seats

Norwich City Council is in no overall control. Labour is expected to 
continue running a minority administration with the Green Party as the 
main opposition group.

Finishing the night with an increased number of City Council seats 
from 10 to 13, Norwich Green Party has leapfrogged the Liberal 
Democrats to become the official opposition on Norwich City Hall, just 
2 seats away from the ruling Labour Party.  At the same time, the 
Greens have beaten Labour on local election vote share across the 
Norwich South Parliamentary constituency by approximately 2000 votes.  
For the first time, the Norwich Greens also won more votes than Labour 
across the entire city.
