The '''Green Party''' is a [[political party]] in the [[United States]] which places a strong emphasis on [[environmentalism]]. It supports many [[liberal]] social policies, as well as advocating moving politics to the [[grassroots]] and community level. It also supports [[national debt|debt reduction]], a conservative principle, though it generally supports doing this by raising taxes on the upper income brackets and cutting military spending.
There are other Green parties throughout the world, though most, if not all act independently of each other.
The Green Party's nominee for [[POTUS|President]] in 1996 and 2000 was [[Ralph Nader]]. It was [[Ralph Nader]]'s candidacy as the Green Party nominee in 2000 that reportedly split enough votes in [[Florida]] to enable [[George W. Bush]] to defeat [[Al Gore]] there, and that became the margin of Bush's victory for the entire nation.
Ralph Nader was not the Green Party nominee in 2004 or 2008, when Nader ran as an independent, nor in 1992 when Nader ran as a [[write-in candidate]] in the [[New Hampshire]] Democratic primary. In 2008, the Green Party nominee was ultraliberal former Congresswoman [[Cynthia McKinney]] of [[Georgia]].
