How did the Green Party start?
The Green Party started in the 1980’s. The Green Party is kind of an outgrowth of the Green Movement that really took form in Europe, especially Germany, where a Green Party was really able to get into politics in a formal way. It started in the 1980’s, but not much came of it until Ralph Nader took up the mantle of the Green Party and started challenging the other two parties. Especially with Al Gore in 2000. People started to really know what the Green Party was. It started in the 1980’s, came into its own with Ralph Nader, and throughout the 90’s to the 2000 election.
