The Midori no kaigi (みどりの会議), known in English as Environmental Green Political Assembly was a right-wing political party in Japan which has a mix of platforms. In addition to being an ecologist party, it is one of the few of those "green" parties which is conservative, and to a degree, reformist. On June 22, 2004, because of the poor preformance the party showed in the 2004 Upper House elections (the party won no seats), it dissolved itself, not merging into any other party, spelling an end to the Sakigake movement in Japanese politics.
History and Current Position
The party grew out of The Sakigake Party, which renamed itself to Midori no Kaigi after it adopted a policy of ecologism. Sakigake itself grew out of the New Party Sakigake movements of the 1990s.
Midori no kaigi had most of its support from the ecologists of Japan, as well as some people who left the ruling Liberal Democrats.
The party, however, had no seats in the Diet, even though it made a goal of one seat in the House of Councillors election in July 2004, which it did not gain. On 22 July2004, Midori no kaigi dissolved itself, not grouping itself into a new party, but just dissolved - spelling an end to the Sakigake movement of Japanese politics.
