Talk:Nordic Green Left Alliance

Untitled
The article says "Ideology: Democratic-Socialism"... as far as the Swedish Left Party (Vänsterpartiet) goes, this is incorrect... The Swedish Left Party is a Revolutionary Socialist & Feminist party. Inwards, the term "Marxism" is often used, but not so often for outside purposes. I'll therefore add: Socialism & Feminism to the list... Centril (talk) 18:26, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

I removed a major part of the article twice, as I consider the text based on incorrect statements: --Soman 23:56, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * "The alliance builds upon cooperation between these parties within the European Parliament dating back to 1995." is incorrect. These parties have bonds going back decades.
 * "NGL's component parties have roots in socialism (the Norwegian and Danish parties) and communism (the Swedish and Finnish parties)." - the dichotomy of socialism vs. communism is incorrect. Communism is a socialist ideology and all the five parties have some sort of past in the communist tradition.
 * "Accordingly, rather than align with the pan-European Green Party or their Greens-EFA parliamentary group, NGLA's member parties sit in the European Parliament as part of the larger European United Left - Nordic Green Left group." - actually the Danish SF MEP has joined the Green group. Moreover, NGLA has nothing to do with EU structures.
 * " As NGLA is based purely in the Nordic countries, it does not meet the requirement of having members originating in one-quarter of European Union member-states and therefore cannot be recognized by the EU as a legal pan-European political party." - NGLA is not a political party, and is not intended to be one.

Why is it called the green left? The color green in the nordic countries is normally associated with the centre parties in Norway, Sweden and Finland etc, or in more modern times, with green parties. 85.228.19.35 (talk) 05:27, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

- The "green" part is to emphase that we are strongly commited to enviromental issues. I guess it is also a way to stress that we are not so dark red? A guess is that the semi-nationalistic and not very leftleaning danes can have something to do with it? I mean they are now part of the green group in the parlament. On other hand the Islandic leftis also call them self red-green. Personally I have never liked the name - but that is no interess. I think it has to do with the enviromal issues and in some extent that some parties are not that radical. //member of Vänsterpartiet. --83.248.183.128 (talk) 17:47, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Disbanded?
The website is no longer operational, there appears to be nothing recent to suggest this alliance is still extent. Does anyone have any further information on this matter?--Autospark (talk) 17:13, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

What about this?: http://www.nordicgreenleft.org/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.12.218.188 (talk) 18:32, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

As of 2019, that URL doesn't exist. So I too am curious whether this alliance still exists and if so, what exactly its purpose and role are in practice. 86.186.41.239 (talk) 15:32, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Infobox
"European affiliation	Maintenant le Peuple". Where is the source for this? Some of the individual member parties have affiliated to MLP, but what reason is there to think that NGLA as a whole has? 15:34, 2 June 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.186.41.239 (talk)

According to the info-section on the website, the Alliance contains 9 parties, however we only list 8. Would be nice if the 9th party could be added! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 14:05, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
