Partly aligned with the seat’s councils.

Ramsay voted against the Immigration and Asylum Bill at Second Reading in July 2026 — one of relatively few MPs to oppose the bill's core principles outright rather than abstain. He also broke from the government line on planning delegation regulations, opposing rules that would require planning officers rather than elected councillors to decide applications for smaller housing sites. Both votes are consistent with a Green approach: scepticism of Labour's immigration policy from a humanitarian direction, and defence of local democratic accountability over centralised efficiency drives.

At 62% voting participation, Ramsay falls noticeably below the Commons average. He is a 100% party-line voter within the Greens, though that reflects the mechanics of a two-seat party as much as ideological discipline. His stance profile marks him as strongly pro-climate action (96%) and pro-workers' rights (94%), with low alignment on fiscal responsibility (36%) and business-friendly measures (11%). He deviates from his own party's average on NHS funding — voting in line with a pro-NHS position only a third of the time against his party's 59% — and shows stronger alignment than his party on child welfare and online safety.

His 154 contributions across 117 debates put him among the more active smaller-party MPs by speech volume, with economy, environment, and health dominating. Local news coverage from the past year has been consistently positive, centred on constituency engagement: 40-plus surgeries in his first year, support for NHS dentistry and farming, and campaigns on hunting and private jet fuel taxes. No committee roles are recorded. The voting-pattern deviations on NHS funding are notable given his health speech activity, and worth watching for emerging pattern.
