Like many green parties around the world, its origins lie in the anti-nuclear, labour and peace movements of the 1970s and early 1980s. Since 2006, the party has operated as a region of the Green Party of Ireland〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Greens working for peaceful progress in Northern Ireland )〕 and also maintains links with other Green parties, including the Scottish Green Party and the Green Party of England and Wales. The party has a youth wing operating in Northern Ireland, the Young Greens. The party also has an LGBTQ policy and activist group operating in Northern Ireland, the Queer Greens. ==Policies== The Green Party has four key values: social justice, environmental sustainability, grassroots democracy and non-violence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Principles )〕 It is considered to be more left-wing than most parties in Northern Ireland. The Green Party has been involved in several major campaigns since entering the Northern Ireland Assembly, including clean rivers and anti-nuclear campaigns, opposition to fracking, and fighting the austerity agenda. It has also campaigned against the development of incinerators at Belfast North Foreshore and Lough Neagh, and against proposals to extend the airport runway at George Best Belfast City Airport.〔 The Green Party campaigns not just for more environmental protection but also for politics for the common good. MLA Steven Agnew has championed the rights of children in Northern Ireland through his Private Member's Bill which is seeking to establish a statutory duties on government departments to work together to deliver optimum children's services. Agnew has also been a long-standing supporter of integrated education and a society based on equal rights and mutual respect for all traditions. This has included bringing forward the first motion on same-sex marriage to the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2011. The party has also called for funding to be focused on improving public transport infrastructure and supports the creation of an independent environmental protection agency for Northern Ireland. They also campaign for a shift to alternative energy for Northern Ireland and were involved in the setting up of a lobby group for the sector. The Green Party in Northern Ireland campaigns for transparency in political funding, responsive local government, effective community planning, dynamic and sustainable local economies, environmental protection, and for animal welfare. On the constitutional status of Northern Ireland, the Green Party believes the status quo should remain "until the people of Northern Ireland decide otherwise". The party has also called for greater transparency in politics, arguing that political donations in Northern Ireland should be made public. Northern Ireland is the only part of the United Kingdom where political donations are secret. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Green Party in Northern Ireland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
