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.

 News - New party aims to grow green logic in Parliament
But the hard reality is that her fledgling "The Government by the People Green Party", although registered with the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), still has to fulfil the most basic requirement for being allowed to take part in the election: a R120 000 deposit by May 12.
She's convinced that the majority of South Africans - and particularly women and young people - realise the immediate need for a "green party" of committed environmentalists, and that they will cast their votes for her and her colleagues.
Partly to avoid confusion with the defunct Green Party, which made no impact at all during the historic 1994 election - it's remembered only for its policy of wanting to legalise dagga - and partly because her new party promotes two fundamental concepts, Ms Sole responds.
