 | The Green Party was originally formed as PEOPLE, or the Ecology Party, in Coventry in 1973, with the first edition of Manifesto for a Sustainable Society as the party's statement of philosophy and policies. |
| The party was the Green Party in the 1987 general election and took 89,753 votes. |
| Nonetheless mainstream political parties were alarmed by the party's election performance and adopted some Green policies in an attempt to counter the threat. |
| Worldwide green parties - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4427 words) |
| 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. |
