The Midori no Tō ( Japanese 緑 の 党 , "Green Party", English Greens Japan ) is a green political party in Japan - in the legal sense it is a "political association" ( seiji dantai ) , not a party, as it is not represented in the national parliament or in national elections.

Midori no Tō was created in July 2012 as the successor to Midori no Mirai and has individual members in prefectural parliaments and at the local level. A former co-chair of Midori no Mirai, Kazumi Inamura , was elected mayor of the independent city of Amagasaki in Hyogo prefecture in 2010.

The party chairmanship of the Midori no Tō is shared by Hitoshi Nakayama, city councilor in Niigata ( Niigata prefecture), Nao Suguro, city councilor in Suginami (Tokyo prefecture), Masaru Kōsaka and Uiko Hasegawa.

history

Logo from Midori no Mirai

The Midori no Mirai ( み ど り の 未来 ; Eng. "Green Future"; Eng. Greens Japan ) was created on November 22, 2008 through the merger of Midori no Table ( み ど り の テ ー ブ ル , midori no tēburu , Eng . "Green Table", English Japan Greens ) and Niji to Midori ( 虹 と 緑 , German "Rainbow and Green", English Rainbow and Greens ) and is a member of the Global Greens .

The forerunner of the “Green Table” was Midori no Kaigi ( み ど り の 会議 , Eng. “Green Conference”, Eng. Japan Greens ), who was represented in the House of Lords by Atsuo Nakamura until 2004 . It was created in 2002 as the successor to Sakigake , a more conservative, ecologically oriented LDP spin-off. Niji to Midori was established in 1998 merger of ecologically oriented prefectural and municipal politicians, the partially on the global justice, communist-influenced Jichi Rentai Ecology o mezasu Seiji Group Sosei ( 自治·連帯·エコロジーをめざす政治グループ·蒼生 , dt. About " political movement for self-government, solidarity and ecology 'Die Massen' ”, publisher of the magazine Glocal ).

Founded in 2012

In order to prepare for a planned foray into national politics in the lower house election expected in autumn 2012, due at the latest in 2013, and the upper house election in summer 2013 , the Midori no Mirai disbanded on July 28, 2012 and founded the Midori no Tō , being around 1,000 party members were taken over. For the 2013 Sangiin election, Midori no Tō plans to put up ten candidates in November 2012, half of which are to be determined by the members in primary elections.

The party's core objectives are to replace nuclear energy with renewable energies and to reduce CO 2 emissions, as well as prohibiting the export of nuclear energy technologies and rejecting negotiations to join the Transpacific strategic economic partnership .

The party wants to intensify its cooperation with citizens' initiatives and non-governmental organizations and with international green parties; international guests at the founding party congress were MPs Bärbel Höhn from Germany, Senator Scott Ludlam from Australia and Sinan Mavivo from the Republic of China.

For the lower house election in December 2012 , the Midori no Tō, given the high costs for nomination (see Shūgiin # Composition and Election ), did not put up any candidates of their own, but made an election recommendation in individual constituencies.
