Green Party (Jonathia)

The Jonathian Green Party (JGP; French: Parti Vert Jônatiane, German: Jonädianische Grüne Partei, often simply the Green Party or Greens) is a green, left-wing political party in Jonathia. Since September of 2022, Imelda Muddock has served as the party's leader. The party currently has six representatives in the parliament, in addition to 94 councillors at the local government level.
The party's ideology combines environmentalism with left-wing economic policies, including well-funded and locally controlled public services. It advocates a steady-state economy with the regulation of capitalism, and supports proportional representation. It takes a progressive approach to social policies such as civil liberties, animal rights, LGBT rights, and drug policy reform. The party also believes strongly in non-violence, universal basic income, a living wage, and democratic participation. It is internationally affiliated with the Global Greens and the Tapanthian Green Party.
The party was founded in late 1996 by Eli Fletcher, and was inspired by the green politics movement in other countries. It first ran in the 1997 elections, with Fletcher as it's candidate for prime minister. The Greens would often end up being a protest vote for voters unhappy with both the Liberals and the SDP, allowing the Greens to gain a presence in local politics. However, it would not be until 2021 when the Greens gained their first parliamentary seats.
