Green Party (Vasuria)
[edit]The Green Party of Vasuria is a left-wing, green political party and environmental rights organisation in Vasuria. The party was established in 980 by Rusiencus Voermindus Nihilanto, a Gexorrhean-born conservationist and environmentalist. The Greens would gain their first seats at the 983 senatorial elections, running on a single-issue platform of environmental policy and implementation. Green politics and social liberalism forms the core tenants of the party's principal ideologies.
Under the leadership of Egnatius Folex Heselus since 1014, the party today encompasses a broad range of left-wing policies including environmentalism, worker rights, education, welfare, promotion of the arts and a heavy emphasis on de-nuclearisation, demilitarisation and pacificism. The Green Party generally advocates the nationalisation of key industries, generous financial support for SMEs providing environmentally conscious services, the promotion of communal living, increased taxation on the wealthy, a mixed economy, and increased government spending.
The Green Party is regularly the fifth or sixth largest party in the senate and are essential coalition partners with fellow left-wing parties. The vast majority of Green support comes largely from educated urban centres, particularly university towns and communities within natural parks and protected areas.
The Green party is known for its climate activism and demilitarisation. From 990-1009, the party actively pushed legislation ending military conscription in Vasuria, which narrowly succeeded in 1009. In 1011, the party, along with its left-wing coalition partners, successfully passed the National Parks Act, which forbade the extraction of natural resources in protected nature reserves across the country. The legislation proved controversial in many rural communities, especially Barzora, in that it precludes local communities of economic rights to cultural lands now designated under the Imperial National Park Gazette.
