The Malgravean Green Party is the oldest political patty still active in the country. It currently holds the third largest number of seats in both the House of Commons and local Government.

History

The Malgravean Green Party was one of the political parties founded during the Conference of Asola. It was formed out of concern about the impact heavy industry, colonialism and out of control urbanisation was having on both the environment and the social structure of humanity. Forming itself around the principles of non-interventionism, de-colonisation and environmental science the Green Party rapidly expanded eventually winning the National Elections in 1925, 1930 and 1935 with a clear distinct majority leading many political analysts of the time to claim that the Green Party also held mass populist values, the perceived failure to react quickly enough to the events surrounding the Second World War however led to the parties rapid fall from grace and collapse of the government in 1939, something which the party has never recovered from as it has never come close to holding a position of power since.

Political Platform

Economically the Green Party support what they call a steady state economy which in Malgrave is the belief that a countries economic growth has a ceiling tied to the environmental concerns and finite natural resources of said country, it is against what it sees as the mass consumption and over capitalist lifestyle of the Malgravean people and wishes to implement and economy and social structure based on sustainability and long-term use. The Party also supports localisation with the support of subsidies for various small industries like agriculture and environmental friendly industry whilst also supporting import tariffs, the Green Party also supports what is calls the democratization of the local banking sector with the formation of dozens of local publicly owned community banks providing local enterprises and people with much needed funds and investment.

One of the most controversial issues for the party is the supporting of a so called citizens income an unconditional, non-means-tested, weekly payment made to every citizen whether they are working or not, the Green Party report that this citizens income will completely eliminate the poverty trap and help achieve prosperity even in a zero-growth economy. To pay for these measures the Green Party support an increase to the top bracket of income tax, corporation tax and the formation of several new eco-taxes on packaging, carbon emissions

Socially the Green Party is mixed especially on the scientific front with some politicians in the party wishing to put some limits on the kind of research permitted on humans and an extreme minority wishing to even slowly put an end to research on animals, with research being reported on alternative methods to animal testing. Tacking such scientific methods however is an extremely unpopular position in the country which is not supported by a majority of politicians from within the party who support current methods as they do not wish to be seen as anti-science. It also wishes to see the eventual legalisation of all drugs in the country into a well regulated model alongside more scientific research into the causes and cures for addiction. In other social cases it supports the current Progressive-Unity Party in the equality of all species, sexualities and religions to marry and adopt.
