Topic: Confederation of The Greens


In the News (Tue 22 Dec 09)

  
  S/R 13: The Greens in Spain
During the 1970's and 1980's, Green Parties grew rapidly in Europe, the Americas, and Oceania in response to the arms race, the global ecological crisis, and the inability of the left parties to confront new realities caused by industrial development and the irrational use of new technologies.
Greens have government ministers in the West and the East, in countries such as Finland and Georgia.
In 1991, I was elected as a Green to the City Council of Rivas Vaciamadrid, a municipality bordering the capital of Spain.

  Can the Greens Unite for 1996?
If the Greens can realize that spirit this year by re-uniting local chapters and state parties disaffected from the national level of organization, the Greens--hopefully in alliance with the broader left--could be in a position to mount a credible challenge to the regressive politics of the major parties in 1996.
Greens around the country are eager to get a closer look at the New Mexico Greens, who leaped over the Alaska, California, and Hawai'i Greens in last November's election to become the Green Party with the strongest statewide base of support when their statewide candidates garnered between 11 percent and 33 percent of the vote.
Many Greens feel that this type of conference may be a good idea, but that it should come later, with broader participation, after the Greens have had their unity-building meeting in Albuquerque and after a more open-ended meeting of the various parties and organizations supporting a left or progressive third party.

 GPUSA National Green Program
Greens enter the electoral arena in a new way-to extend extra-parliamentary direct action movements into the electoral arena, not in order to get into the existing power structure, but the restructure the power and create direct action in its highest form: direct democracy.
It meant that the Green Party participated in the democratic movements, was the electoral arm for the movements, and was accountable to the grassroots base of movement activists organized into the party.
Greens are skeptical of the efficacy of state and national electoral politics because they implicitly convey the idea that radical-democratic social change can come by capturing the offices of the national state and imposing change from the top down.

 Greens Make a Positive Difference : Utah IMC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
The Green Party is not going dissolve into the Democratic Party; it is time to move beyond this notion and to work toward implementing the progressive agenda.
There are 10 key values of the Green Party: grassroots democracy, social justice and equal opportunity, ecological wisdom, nonviolence, decentralization, community-based economics and economic justice, feminism and gender equity, respect for diversity, personal and global responsibility, and future focus and sustainability.
The benefit for the Green and Democratic Parties is that Greens can vote for Green candidates and then, if their candidate does not win 50 percent, they have already chosen the next most progressive candidate as their second choice.

 Maine Greens - John Rensenbrink - Report on the ASGP Middleburg Meeting 1996
Greens are getting more and more ready to get out of their often self-imposed shell and are eager to move forward on the electoral terrain.
It being so clear means that campaigns by Greens and their allies can fix people's minds on the true nature of the opposition (megacorporate greed and hegemony) and at the same time stir the hearts and minds of citizens with a basic appeal to democracy, something corporations can't really authentically claim.
Maine Green Party, which was one of the convenors of the gathering, took a gamble.

 Santa Monica Mirror: It’s A Small World: The Greens: In Santa Monica and Freiburg, Germany
The polls had been closed for hours and the general results were far from certain, but the Berliners crowded into the Green election night party knew that, at the very least, they had won over eight percent of the vote, which meant they were the only clear winners at that moment.
The Greens’ 8.6 percent had pushed their coalition government into the majority and had also far exceeded the minimum seven or eight percent that observers had called necessary for them to claim victory and political stability.
German Greens owe their success to two things, according to Freiburg University political scientist Ulrich Eith, the first of which was the inability of the established left to address environmental issues when they became part of the national consciousness in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
