Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox political party Шаблон:Green politics sidebar The Green Party (Шаблон:Lang-nb, Шаблон:Lang-nn, Шаблон:Lang-sme, Шаблон:Literal translation; MDG) is a centre-left[1][2] green[3] political party in Norway. The party holds three seats in the Parliament of Norway (gaining 3.8% in the 2021 elections) and also has representation in municipal councils and county councils (gaining 4.1% in the 2023 elections).

Similar to its German role model Alliance 90/The Greens, MDG represents green politics with social liberal features. It has been described as centre-left by academics and voters.[4][5] The party has historical roots partly in the new left of the 1960s and 1970s, and partly in the broader environmental movement of the 1970s and 1980s, which itself was highly diverse and attracted support from both the new left and environmentally-oriented liberals and conservatives who rallied around environmental issues. Over time the party has moved in a more centrist and socially liberal direction. MDG stands in a progressive tradition and also defines itself as an intersectional feminist party.[6][7] The party claims distance from the two dominant right-wing and left-wing political blocks, jointly denominated as "the fossil block".[8] The party has gradually moved closer to liberal internationalism over time, allowing for the use of military force when it can promote peace and human rights. MDG supports Norwegian EU membership[9] and NATO membership, while also advocating for a focus on arms control and peaceful conflict resolution. The party's voters are among the most pro-EU, and MDG has been described as a party for "urban, liberal, moderately left-wing academics."[10]

The Green Party is a member of the European Green Party and the Global Greens, and was founded with the German Greens as its stated model.[11] It maintains close ties to other Green parties including the German Greens and the Swedish Greens. It is led by Arild Hermstad.[12]

History

The process of forming a new national green party in Norway was initiated in December 1984, with the official launch in 1988.[13] Among the pioneers were the late philosopher Arne Næss,[14] peace researcher Johan Galtung,[15] and the philosopher Sigmund Kvaløy Setreng.

In the local elections between 1991 and 2009 the Green Party had 6 to 8 representatives elected each time. In the national elections the party never exceeded 0.5% support.

Since 2005, the Greens have seen a significant membership rise, with the new members coming from a wide variety of other parties, including the seven established parliamentary parties.[16]

In the municipal elections of 2011, the party saw its first local breakthrough, having garnered close to 22,000 votes on a national basis. Two years later, during the campaign for the 2013 general election, the party saw a significant rise in support in the opinion polls. The Greens were widely expected to gain parliamentary representation to some extent.[17] In the election, the Greens gathered over 79,000 votes, making them the 8th biggest party in the country. This vote count translates to 2.8 percent of the vote. Rasmus Hansson, the party's top candidate from Oslo was elected to parliament, becoming the first ever Green MP.[18]

In the local elections of 2015 the Green Party overtook the 4% nationally for the first time in its history and got the third place in Oslo.

The party have stated their refusal to form a government with any parties that will continue to drill for oil in the North Sea.[19]

Ideology

The Green Party is one of the global ecologist and environmentalist political parties and movements.[20] As a member of the pan-European European Green Party, the Norwegian Greens subscribe to social progressivism and social justice.[21][22] The main focus of the party is environmental protection and ecological sustainability. The party seeks to introduce a tax on wasteful consumption, and to reorganise the food industry. The Greens have also pledged support for a reform in the agrarian industry, increasing the production of organic crops and strengthening the eco-friendly agricultural sector.[23]

The Green party seeks to reduce the Norwegian petroleum extraction in order to counteract serious climate change. The proposal is to stop extraction by 2035.[24]
