Talk:Red–green alliance

Explanation?
The explanation submitted for "Red-Green alliance" is unfamiliar to me. The more widely accepted definition is the alliance between communists and Islamists, not communists and environmentalists. This can be easily shown by Googling "red green alliance islam" then "red green alliance environmentalists". You will observe around 1,800,000 vs 270,000 hits respectively. So the former definition is about 7 times more commonly used.

 * In Europe, the communist-environmentalist alliance would probably be the more familiar term - since these sorts of alliances have seats in national parliaments and the European Parliament. --metzerly 06:28, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Article update
Okay, I've updated the article for grammar and wikification. I also restructured it to more clearly differentiate between the SPD-Green coalition government and the Danish Red-Green Alliance. I also moved the article from Red-Green Alliance to red-green alliance. This is because it is not referring to a specific group and, therefore, not a proper noun. --metzerly 07:43, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree. It is referring to followers of a specific philosophy and is therefore ordinarily capitalised in English.  A red or green party would just be one with that colour logo.  However, Reds are followers of socialism and Greens are ecologically-based holists (both from a number of parties across the world).

 * I'm moving this back as the original move was done without consensus by a now inactive user. &mdash;Joe Llywelyn Griffith Blakesley talk contrib 13:06, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

How about some info about the red-green alliance of 1996 in New Zealand between the alliance and green parties? This must be one of the first of such alliances in the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.90.114.166 (talk) 13:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

The situation in Norway
According to the article, a red-green alliance is an alliance of "red" social-democratic or democratic socialist parties with "green" environmentalist parties. In the Norwegian case, this is only partly the case. The Labour Party describes itself as a social democratic party and uses a red rose as uts symbol. The Centre Party has its origin as a Farmers' Party and uses the colour green. The colour green should not, though, be taken as a sign that this is an environmental party. In fact, the Centre Party has for instance supported hunting and killing wolfs. The third party, the Socialist Left Party describes itself as a democratic socialist party and is the most envronmentally concerned of the three party. It does, however, have a different origin from the traditional "green" party and was not originally created as a party concerned with "green" issues, but has its origin as a left-wing splinter group from the Labour Party. --Oddeivind (talk) 12:13, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Support the merger. --Jeonghyeonseo (talk) 10:57, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Support – having a separate article is completely redundant.--Autospark (talk) 18:28, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
