What does the Green Party stand for? Is it just an environmentalist party?
The Green Party is a diverse political party that takes stands on nearly all current political issues. Most Green Parties around the world have never been single-issues parties. The name Green Party came about due to the tradition in West German of giving every political party a color. The Social Democrats are Reds and the Christian Democrats are Blacks. In 1979, the new party that was speaking out in support of feminism, peace, the Third World and immigrant rights, values in politics, and the environment were naturally called the Greens.
