PARTIES AND MOVEMENTS
7 The party name was changed to the ‘Ecology Party’ in 1975 and to the ‘Green
Party’ in 1985. There is a separate Scottish Green Party.
8 Kitschelt categorises all green parties, apart from the Swiss, as left-libertarian.
However, there are several small ‘dark green’ ecological parties, including the
Dutch De Groenen and various French green factions, with a narrow ecological
programme rather than a broader left-libertarian programme, which do not fit
thislabel.
