Those who remained in the Green party were more strongly anti-military and against restrictions on immigration and abortion, while supporting the decriminalization of marijuana use, placing a higher priority on working for the rights of gays and lesbians, and tending to advocate what they described as "anti-authoritarian" concepts of education and child-raising.
Numerous anti-war party members resigned their party membership when the first deployment of German troops in a military conflict abroad occurred under a Green government, and the party began to experience a long string of defeats in local and regional elections.
The only party convention in 2003 was planned for November 2003, but about 20% of the local organisations forced the federal party to hold a special party convention in Cottbus early to discuss the party position in regard to the Agenda 2010, a major reform of the German social security systems planned by chancellor Schröder.

A faction of the Green Party of Utah is battling with other party members and the state over printing a presidential candidate's name on the November ballot.
The faction hopes a state judge will halt printing of ballots for the 2004 general election, pending decisions over whether the party will have a presidential candidate on the ballot and who in the party has the authority to tell the election officials what to print on the ballot, the lawsuit states.
No Green presidential candidate is to be printed on the November ballot, although Cobb and LaMarche are the official candidates for the Green Party of the United States.

Scoring 5.6% in the federal parliamental elections in 1983, the Greens enter the Bundestag for the first time with a total of 28 seats; fraction members are rotated after two years in 1985 (with the exception of Petra Kelly and Gert Bastian[?]), but the concept is abolished in May 1986 again.
In 1990, elections are held separately in former East and West Germany; in West Germany, the Green Party doesn't manage to gain enough votes to enter parliament, only scoring 4.8% instead of the necessary 5%, but in East Germany, the Greens gain a 6.1% share of the votes and 8 seats in the Bundestag.
While the ruling SPD suffers substantial losses during the 2002 parliamental elections and only barely manages to become the biggest fraction, the Green Party gains 1.9 points compared to the 1998 elections, for a total of 8.6%, yielding 55 seats.

The party first won seats in the Bundestag, the lower house of the German parliament, in 1983; after some success in state level and European parliament elections.

Of the two major U.S. parties, the Democratic Party is to the left of the Republican Party, though its politics are not as consistently leftist as the traditional social democratic and labor parties in much of the world.
For 20 years, different factions of the party contended for the presidency, whose candidates were nominated by congressional caucuses.
Civil libertarians also often support the Democratic Party because its positions on such issues as civil rights and separation of church and state are more closely aligned to their own than the positions of the Republican Party, and because the Democrats' economic agenda may be more appealing to them than that of the Libertarian Party.

The original American Greens came largely from the social justice and environmental activist communities and their values (combined with a desire to reduce the power of corporations, a belief in grassroots democracy, and a global perspective) form the essence of today’s Green Party.
In Germany, the Greens hold seven percent of the seats in the lower house of their legislature, the Bundestag, and are part of a coalition government with the dominant Social Democratic party.
German Greens, who have their roots in the peace movement, generally oppose sending German troops to fight foreign wars and were divided on the question of leaving the coalition on principle or pragmatically going along with Schroeder.
