Green politics is considered by its advocates to be an alternative to both left and right views and parties, although adherents to both views tend to view Greens as "on the other side".
These views are complex and contradictory, but certainly it is true that Green parties advocate measures that appear to conventional politicians to appeal to, or repel, different groups than those conventionally grouped into "left" (or "labour") and "right" (or "capital") by economic interests.

 Global Greens, Global Governance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Over the course of the last 15 years, environmental organizations have become increasingly obsessed with "global" environmental issues such as climate change, ozone depletion and biodiversity loss.
In response to lobbying by these organizations, governments around the world have signed many international treaties with a trend to cede power in environmental matters to the United Nations.
Given that a few organizations accredited within the UN as Non Governmental Organizations have quite a bit of sway on the matter, this book suggests that the resultant global governance will be undemocratic and policies will be based on dogma rather than sound science.
