Why does the article use the term "non-violence" instead of "pacifism"?
[edit]Another euphemism in the article such as "social justice". How about socialism?
The Green party in Germany supported the first foreign mission of the german Bundeswehr in Kosovo in 1999, the first since the second world war
[edit]How can anybody seriously believe that this kind of parties are "non-violent" like the introduction of the article falsely claims?
The Greens also supported force in their history. Pacifism has never worked and only encourages evil.

Proposal: Include Scottish Greens in Government Table
[edit]I'd like to propose that the Scottish Green Party be included in the “Green parties in government” table to reflect their participation in the Scottish Government (2021–2024) as junior coalition partners with the SNP.
The current exclusion appears to rest on the idea that the table only covers "national" governments. But this interpretation doesn't fit the UK context. Since the Scotland Act 1998, the Scottish Parliament has legislative authority over most green policy areas, including: environment, housing, transport, justice, land use, and more. The UK Government has no jurisdiction over these issues in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
Excluding the Scottish Greens would make the table misleading, especially since the UK Government only governs England on these same devolved issues. Either the table should include all significant green participation in executive governments (even if subnational), or it implicitly only reflects English governance within the UK, which is a bias we should avoid.
If scope is a concern, a new subsection for devolved or subnational governments with legislative autonomy could resolve it neatly.
@Volodia.woldemar - Since you reverted the previous addition of the Scottish Greens, I’d appreciate your input on this proposal. Thanks! Woollybadger (talk) 12:03, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
- National governments only, seems logical totally for one general overview article. Volodia.woldemar (talk) 21:06, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
