The GermanGreens are generally regarded as the Mother of all Greenparties, although they are not the oldest or the first GreenParty to enter national parliament.
Most Greenparties in these countries, however, were not able to develop widespread support and maintain their influence in the years that followed.
In 1979 the Swiss Greenparty was the first to have a Green elected to a national parliament in Europe.
Those who remained in the Greenparty 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.
