Jonathan Bartley and Siân Berry Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay The 2021 Green Party of England and Wales leadership election was held from August to September 2021 to select a new leader or leaders of the Green Party of England and Wales.

The election was won by the Bristol councillor Carla Denyer and the party's former deputy leader Adrian Ramsay.

On 5 July 2021, Bartley resigned as leader, triggering a leadership election later in the year, staying as co-leader until 1 August.

[8][9] On 18 July, the Young Greens passed a motion calling for Ali to be dismissed over comments he had made about LGBT people and trans healthcare offered by GenderGP.

[10] He proposed a conference motion calling for the trans healthcare clinic GenderGP to be banned, saying that it put "patient safety at risk".

[12] Ballots were completed by the single transferable vote, with members ranking the five leadership tickets and the option to re-open nominations.

[20] They set a target of at least eight Green MPs by 2030 and said they wanted to attract people who had supported Labour under Jeremy Corbyn but didn't like Keir Starmer.

He is the party's policing and domestic spokesperson, was deputy leader between 2014 and 2016 and stood as a candidate in the 2018 and the 2020 leadership elections.

[25] Denyer and Ramsay were seen as the "safer choice" with a more electoral focus whereas Omond and Womack were thought to appeal to younger members with the strongest climate approach.

[25] In an interview with the Morning Star, Ali said he prioritised immediate climate action and that he opposed the Working Definition of Antisemitism.

[27] He said in an interview with Bright Green that "it would be far better accepted if a white middle class man got up and said I believe in the principle aims of Black Lives Matter".

He later said that he didn't "feel that the electorate is ready" for a leader of "a different gender, a different race, a different religion" to "say the things [he wants] to say for the party".

[33] GPEx Campaigns co-ordinator Several Green politicians were speculated about as potential candidates but chose not to stand in the election.

These included the councillors Andrew Cooper, Cleo Lake and Rosi Sexton, the London Assembly Member Zack Polanski and the former Parliamentary candidate Rashid Nix.

[50][51] Denyer said she would continue to sit on Bristol City Council and the pair outlined a plan to have a Green councillor on every local authority.

[52] They listed policy priorities including investment in the transition to carbon neutrality, home insulation, green public transport and more environmentally-friendly food production.
