Worldwide green parties Green Parties are part of, but do not exclusively represent, a larger political movement to reform human governance to better fit the constraints of the biosphere - usually called the Green Movement to contrast it from the electoral participation of the legally-registered Parties.

GREEN PARTY : Encyclopedia Entry Green Parties are part of, but do not exclusively represent, a larger political movement to reform human governance to better fit the constraints of the biosphere — usually called the Green movement to contrast it from the electoral participation of the legally-registered Parties. Many people also confuse Green Parties with Greenpeace, a global NGO prominent in the ecology movement, which like the Green political movement was founded in the 1970s, and shares some green goals and values, but works with different methods and is not organized as a political party. Green Parties are often formed in a given jurisdiction by a coalition of scientific ecologists, community environmentalists, and local (or national) leftist groups or groups concerned with peace or citizens rights. bibleocean.com /OmniDefinition/Green_Party   (4439 words)

The Green Party - criticism | libcom.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Fundamentally, libertarian communists agree with the Green Party's emphasis on direct democracy, in fact we think the whole of human society should be run by directly democratic structures making decisions about social and economic issues, and that the only way to achieve that society is to make those structures in the present society. The Green Party recognises that ecological damage is the result of a continually expanding economy, in which economic activity is the measure of wealth, ignoring quality of life and ecological impact. The left-wing of the party (the "Fundis"), which were most concerned with grassroots direct action and radical social policy has largely left the organisation, leaving it to professional politicians and 'moderates'. libcom.org /thought/the-green-party-criticism   (1828 words)

Green Party Review The proof of the Green commitment to fiscal prudence is that the CBC has declared that alone of all the major parties, the Green platform is the only one that would not drive the government into deficit if introduced as written. The Green Party believes that that instead of a massive “mega project” we should be putting money into the hands of parents through expanded child tax credits and benefits, encourage employers to provide employee childcare, a reduced workweek, and, provide federal funding for early childhood education. But because the Green Parties were created decades ago when there was a lot less depressing information and a lot fewer scared people, a significant percentage of social utopians were among the original founders and some of their ideals found their way into the constitutions and original documents of the organization. greenpartyreview.ca   (7914 words)

The 2% Solution - Green Party of Canada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) The Green Party was not even offered the opportunity to meet face-to-face with the broadcast consortium to state its case for inclusion. In 2004, the broadcast consortium first told the Green Party of Canada that they were excluded from the debate because they did not have official party status, then because they had never held official party status, and finally because they did not hold a seat. The consortium also cited the "large number of political parties contesting the 2004 federal election” as a reason to exclude the Green Party from participating in the debate and that five leaders would be unwieldy. www.greenparty.ca /page161.html   (1994 words)

Euromedia: A pan-Europe political party? The French Green party, for instance, grew bitter at being ignored as a junior partner in the last Socialist-led government. European Green parties are divided among themselves on fundamental issues such as how much power national governments should cede to EU bodies: The German Greens are federally minded, while the British and Scandinavian parties are more 'Euroskeptic.' The Danish Green party refused even to sign the common electoral platform. Green leaders insist that their new formation merely reflects the goal set by the proposed EU Constitution - of "unity and diversity." And in the European Parliament, "When you look at our voting record we are the most coherent of all the groups," says Green deputy chairman Pierre Jonckheer. journalism.berkeley.edu /projects/euromedia/archives/002153.html   (951 words)

The Greens (France) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Les Verts (or The Greens) are an ecologist political party to the left of the political spectrum in France. Under the ideological guidance of Antoine Waechter, the party in 1986 signalled a break with the traditional divide in French politics, declaring that environmental politics could not be “married” to either the left or the right (which gave rise to its famous slogan “ni droite, ni gauche” - "neither right, nor left"). The party had previously expelled another co-founder (in 1991), Jean Brière, for signing a text addressing the alleged "war-causing role" of Israel and "the zionist lobby in the Gulf War. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/French_Green_Party   (961 words)

Green Party of Canada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) The Green Party believes that any party that achieves over 2 per cent of the vote must be included, as a consequence of their federal funding. The decision by the broadcast consortium to exclude the Green Party flies in the face of its previous rulings.

the Greens/Green Party USA- French high seas piracy and alleged diplomatic insult aside, the Alien and Sedition Acts were actually targeted at American citizens and employed as a political tool of the Federalist Party.

SUPPORT FOR WAR DWINDLES IN EUROPE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) In mid-May, a former minister in the French government of Fran‡ois Mitterrand, the 1960s left intellectual Regis Debray, wrote a first-hand account of events in Kosovo for the daily newspaper Le Monde that countered the incessant demonization of the Yugoslav government and Serbian people. In Germany, leading bodies of the Green Party in some of the major cities have split off because of the pro-war position of the Green leadership. Green support for the bombing has eroded partly because it has become clear that the massive bombing of Yugoslavia has brought with it enormous destruction of the environment. www.iacenter.org /bosnia/yugeuro.htm   (549 words)

The Green Party of Virginia - Fall 1999 Newsletter The parties also voted to accept the new name and, if the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics refuses to recognize the merger and transfer the two parties' respective ballot statuses to the merged party, to dissolve their respective parties. But members of the two parties are optimistic that the Board of Elections and Ethics will accept their internal decisions, and are ready to apply legal pressure with the argument that a political party has the right to decide its own destiny. Party alliances, joint slates, coalitions, and fusion might serve as useful steps, but it's the natural tendency of political parties to compete with each other for registrants and for elected office. www.vagreenparty.org /newsletters/nl24fall99.html   (8510 words)

FrontPage magazine.com :: French: Toast by Dick Morris The very depressed Leon Bertrand, the French tourism secretary, reported that American tourism to his nation has dropped by 20 percent - likely quite an understatement of the looming reality of a massive summer boycott. When Saddam Hussein promised the French two of his top undeveloped oil fields, but said they could have them only when the sanctions and embargo against him were lifted, commercialism joined with the left's Communism and the right's anti-Semitism to give Saddam a mandate, French style. Unless we show the French that we cannot be taken for granted or rebelled against in some adolescent acting out, we will have to put up with their ingratitude time and again. www.frontpagemag.com /Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=8813   (414 words)
