Everything about Green Party Sweden totally explained
The
Green Party (literally "The Environment Party the Greens", and usually simply referred to in Sweden as
Miljöpartiet: the "The Environment Party") is a
green political party in
Sweden. The party was founded in
1981 emerging out of the movement opposing
nuclear power in a referendum held
1980. It won seats in the
Parliament of Sweden for the first time in
1988, failed to enter in the following election in
1991, but returned again in
1994.
The Green Party is an environmentalist party that attracts young people. The party takes a stand against membership in the
European Union and wants a new referendum on the issue. In the last years has the opinions inside the party moved to a bit to a more
EU friendly line. The Greens support a phasing-out of nuclear energy in Sweden and hope to replace it with alternative, environmentally friendly energy sources. Right now it's more to the left than to the right on the "Left-Right politics", at least on the national level. But in several communes, the party cooperates with liberal parties, and the party doesn't count itself as left, nor right. Rather, they place themselves on one end of a scale between sustainability and growth. The party support the general Swedish
zero tolerance policy for drugs including cannabis. The party supports bigger investments in rail roads.
Currently, the party is in opposition in Sweden, and the three most important issues are: 1) The climate change, 2)
Anti-discrimination laws, and 3) equal rights.
Party spokespersons
The party doesn't have a formalized leadership, instead having chosen a system with two party spokespersons (always one male and one female as a promotion of
gender equality). The current spokespersons are
Peter Eriksson and
Maria Wetterstrand.
The party have 19 seats in the parliament and have seats in the municipal council in most municipalities.
