Green Politics

Green politics is a body of political ideas informed by environmentalism aimed at developing a sustainable society. It is considered by its advocates to be an alternative to both left and right views and parties, although adherents of both views tend to view Greens as “on the other side”. Certainly it is true that Green parties advocate measures that appear to conventional politicians different from those grouped into labour and capital by economic interests. Many analysts argue that Green politics is a mix of socially liberal values teamed up with social-democracy and enviromentalism. Although this is not always the case it is a fair broad view.
