Original sentence: Before the European Parliament election, 2004, ZZS announced that, if its representative was elected, he would join one of the two groups, depending on which of the two Latvian parties he belonged to.It ran on an ideologically amorphous agenda and won 12 out of 100 seats in the parliament.Latvians are supportive of traditional small farms and perceive them as more environmentally friendly than large-scale farming: Nature is threatened by development, while small farms are threatened by large industrial-scale farms.On a European scale, the Green Party is cooperating with the European Federation of Green Parties/European Free Alliance and the Farmer's Union is cooperating with the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party.This perception has resulted in an alliance between green and farmer's parties, which is very rare in other countries.ZZS failed to gather the 5% of votes necessary to gain a seat in European Parliament and thus no ZZS member was elected
