The Green Party (Swedish: Miljöpartiet de gröna, lit. 'Environmental Party, the Greens', MP), commonly referred to as Miljöpartiet in Swedish, is a political party in Sweden based on green politics.
Sparked by the anti-nuclear power movement following the 1980 nuclear power referendum,[10] the party was founded in 1981 out of a discontent with the existing parties' environmental policies. In the 1988 general election they won seats in the Swedish Riksdag for the first time, capturing 5.5 percent of the vote, and becoming the first new party to enter parliament in seventy years.[11] Three years later, they dropped back below the 4 percent threshold.
In 1994, they returned to parliament again and since have retained representation there. The party is represented nationally by two spokespeople, always one man and one woman. These roles are currently held by Amanda Lind and Daniel Helldén.
Between 3 October 2014 and 30 November 2021, the Green Party was a part of the Social Democratic-led government. This was the first time the Greens have entered government in their history.[12] The Greens left the government after the right-wing opposition parties' budget for 2022 was passed in the Riksdag, and the government's own budget failed to pass.[13]
In the 2018 general election, the Greens received 4.4% of the vote and 16 seats, making the party the smallest in the Riksdag. Despite this, the party was still able to maintain its place in government.
